#ClassicsCommunity 2021 Reading Challenge discussion

What classics did you read in August?

I read Anne of the Island, Winnie the Pooh, Ramona Quimby, Age 8; Ramona Forever, A Murder is Announced (Agatha Christie), and Treasure Island.

I read Anne of the Island, Winnie the Pooh, The Blue Castle, and started Persuasion at the end of July and finished in August. I can't believe I read that many books in one month!!! I usually only read one/month, but having buddy reads and setting time aside to read during the day has really made a difference :)

The only classic I read this month was The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce for university.

Classics I read in August were The Age of Innocence, Villette, Washington Sqaure, Prometheus Unbound, Tp Kill a Mockingbird (is that a classic? I’m pretty sure it’s a modern classic????), The Great Gatsby and Mrs Dalloway! A pretty great classics reading month and I’m super happy with my progress! X

I read a science-fiction classic, A Canticle for Leibowitz, by Walter Miller, Jr. Published in 1959, it’s a book I’ve planned to read for years.

As it was a busy work month for me, the only other sort-of-classic I read is more of a modern classic, as it was published in the early 1960s: The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster.

I read all off the Chronicles of Narnia books, The Little Prince, Alices Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass, The Gambler, and Northanger Abbey!

I read "Their Eyes Were Wathing God" by Zora Neale Hurston, "The Gadfly" by Ethel Lilian Voynich, "The Color Purple" by Alice Walker, "Who's to Blame?" by Sophia Tolstoy and "The Lowenskold Trilogy" by Selma Lagerlöf.
