Classics: We love them, we hate them, now we are going to challenge ourselves to reading more of them. Because there are so many different types of classics, different genres are acceptable and encouraged--for example, novels, short story collections, non-fiction, poetry, essays--I'm open for other suggestions!Read 5 classics between July 1st and January 1st
Read 1 book that may not considered classics but that people think should be or will be a classic one day - list of suggestions can be found at http://classics2008.blogspot.com/.

* The Alpine Path - L.M. Montgomery

I think I'll be reading Swiss Family Robinson for this as well. I feel a little bleh that I'm hosting the challenge and haven't even finalized my list yet! I just can't decide. Thanks for joining--I look forward to hearing your thoughts on these books. :)
