Read a Classic Challenge discussion

When you finish a classic book, please post the following information to the feed to engage with other members: Title, Author, Year of (initial) Publication, Number of Pages. Stare or location is optional in your first post of the year, to help track the global reach of this challenge.

This is a grassroots group, which depends on engagement and suggestions from our fans, 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. Unfortunately, we, the moderators, can no longer keep up with logging the statistics, but hope that you will continue the conversations and encourage each other to keep reading classics. 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: https://www.facebook.com/groups/60542...
