We are back!! We are off to a slow start this year because of our responsibilities elsewhere, but never fear, the 2016 challenge is happening.

When you finish a classic book, please post the following information to the feed: Title, Author, Year of (initial) Publication, Number of Pages. You may also post analysis, critique, or questions about the book to let others know how you liked it. Classics can be posted at anytime and are open to interpretation.

You can also participate in the challenge on Facebook by joining the Read a Classic Challenge Group:

Or our website at

This is a grassroots group so feel free to participate as much or as little as you have time for. Just make sure to try to log at least one book this year. We will report the statistics each year.
