The Relentless Reader 
What a list! I do love these lists. Good luck! I think that I have read twelve of the sixty listed. I would like to get through every book here. Though in my case it might take twenty or thirty years!

I love reading the classics so I'm happy to join in on this challenge. Some of them will be re-reads but there are a bunch that I've never read and have always meant to get to.

Great list! Some of them are on my list as well. I read Ethan Frome several years ago, will be glad to read more books by Edith Wharton. Jane Eyre, Frankenstein, My Antonia, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and David Copperfield are favorites of mine. I read All Quiet on the Western Front a couple of years ago. I read The Handmaid's Tale in 2008. I would like to know what you think of them when you have them reviewed. I'm working my way through The Portrait of a Lady now.

I'm so excited to get going on this challenge. There are a number of books on my list that I've already read but am very happy to read again. (Like The Handmaid's Tale…haven't read that in years but remember how amazing it was) Thanks for stopping by Annette!

Well, I'm impressed with myself. I've read 24! Not too shabby. Most of them were in high school though, longer ago than I want to think about. Good luck with your challenge! I would procrastinate until the last couple of months and then frantically try to squeeze the rest in. I hope you're more disciplined than I am!
