The B&N Classics Challenge

Friday, July 22, 2011 Mikentire 0 Comments Category :

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.
