It is still early enough in the year to make some resolutions, is it not? Well two days ago, I quickly decided that I needed to add another resolution to my list.
Read a classic. Or four. It is my plan to read four classics this year. I normally would rephrase that statement in my mind as to read at LEAST four classics. However, this year I am giving myself actual doable goals and I am so far keeping them! I decided I would break the year up into four quarters: Jan-Mar, Apr-Jun, Jul-Sep, Oct-Nov. I know…. that was such a hard decision to make. In that picture above (showcasing the original to our 1920s built house well worn hardwood floors) shows the first two books on my list. I am starting with Pride & Prejudice. I LOVE the movie featuring Keira Knightley and I love other Jane Austen movies, but I have never read one of her books completely before! Sad, but true. So for the first quarter of the year I am giving myself three months to read Pride and Prejudice. I will be reading The Great Gatsby and To Kill a Mockingbird after that. For that last quarter of the year, I am stumped. I can think of so many other classics that will fit the bill, but which one should I chose? Should I jump onto the Les Miserable train or go with a book by Charles Dickens? A Russian great like Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy or maybe l should head to Dublin and drink a Guinness with James Joyce. Maybe I should circle right back to the Good ‘ole US and read The Great Awakening by Kate Chopin. My point in my ramblings, I think, is that there are so many classics to chose from and I don’t have to decide right away. I have nine months to do that!
What would you recommend?
All great choices Katelynn. I don't think you can really go wrong. I hope you don't mind I mentioned you in my latest yarn along post for doubling my goal as well! Cheers!
