Here is my list of Classics for the Classics Club. My intention is to read the majority of these books by 2021. If I don’t then I will just carry these forward. I intend to keep the list fairly flexible- adding and changing titles if I change my mind. A small minority of these books are re reads. I intend to re read the Austen books in order to see whether I have changed my views on them.
