What exactly am I doing?

For a few years now, I've been wanting to do something. I've been wanting to read classic literature. Don't ask me why, I'm not sure. It could be that I'm finally at an age where I can appreciate such writings. It could be that I want to know what they're talking about when "Literature" categories come up on Jeopardy. Either way, I have set out a challenge for myself, and I invite you to join me.

My plan is to read 100 great classic novels. I have looked on google for several classic reading lists. None has pleased me so far, so I'm sort of making my own. My goal is to find 100 novels (generally fiction) that are historic, popular, and well regarded in the world of literature.

I finished my first book last week. I'll have more on it in my next post. This blog is for discussion, suggestions, and just overall musings of classic literature. Thank you for checking it out, and I hope you enjoy my blog.
