Since this challenge doesn’t start until July, Trish is having potential participants do the following meme to get to know one another:
1. My favorite classic is Pride and Prejudice. No question.
2. The classic I had the toughest time finishing is Emma. I still haven’t finished it.
3. I would recommend Cannery Row to someone who doesn’t read a lot of classics or who doesn’t generally like classics because it is short and powerful and a good story.
4. To me, a classic book is a book that has withstood the test of time in that it can speak to people of all generations and eras.
5. The type of relationship I have with classics is love/guilt. I love to read them but feel guilty that I don’t read more.
For the challenge, I select Option 1:
Lord of the Flies, by William Golding
Heart of Darkness, by Joseph Conrad
Emma, by Jane Austen
A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens
Dracula, by Bram Stoker
BONUS: Atonement, by Ian McEwan

I’m glad you’ll be joining us for the challenge! Thanks for playing along with the meme. I started Emma a few years ago and never finished it, but I hope to read it soon (starting from the beginning–groan!).
Great list of books!
