My plan is to read ‘Howards End’ next month so I’ll be reading classics along with you for at least one week I found Lorna Doone sllllooooow, but ultimately good so I hope you enjoy it (and you could find the BBC version with super hot villian). I hope you make it to the Trollope book, which always look like such fun chunky sagas.

This sounds like a great idea and something I have been meaning to try. I Claudius and Lady Audley's Secret have long been on my TBR list. This would be a great opportunity to pick them. Would something by Gabriel Garcia Marquez fit the bill as well? If I get to complete any of these books, I would love to do a guest post on your blog I am glad you are trying Lorna Doone. I remember really getting into the book when I read it .-= Nishita´s last blog ..Going Dark and Some Other Random Blog Changes =-.

East of Eden is fabulous! How about Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man...James Joyce I think I need to join in on this one. Great idea. .-= Wisteria Leigh´s last blog ..ABC Historical Fiction Challenge =-.

You might have seen my most gushing-est post, but I fell in love with To the Lighthouse. I also liked The Sea, The Sea. I'll definitely be reading classics every month. Definitely The Good Earth, and then maybe some. Enjoy your classics! .-= claire´s last blog ..I've Moved =-.

Good for you! I feel like I have been doing pretty well this year at reading more classics. I am reading East of Eden right now and highly recommend it!

Oh, I love reading classics! I just love John Steinbeck, so I’d definitely recommend him. I recently read and loved Cannery Row and Sweet Thursday. (I haven’t read East of Eden yet, though I *meant* to.)

I’ll also second Eva’s recommendation of Anthony Trollope! The Warden would be a great place to start
