The B&N Classics Challenge
I LOVE reading classical literature. There is something so inspiring in reading the great works. One of my goals is to read through all the Barnes & Noble Classics. And there's quite a few of them.
So far I've gotten this far in my B&N Classics quest. I found this list on List of Bests and I decided posting them here would be a great visual way to record my progress
If it's bolded, I've read it. If there's a link on a title, you can read what I thought about it. A lot of these were read before my discovery of blogging, so they won't have a post, but who knows? Maybe I'll re-read them and post about them in the future.
