Catching up on Classics (and lots more!) discussion

You've done it again, Matt--you come up with such creative ideas. I love your Old and New! and your A-Z fantasy is an impressive challenge. I'm looking forward to your thoughts on these, and all the rest too. Have fun!

I am also enamored of your Old and New. I enjoyed watching your French tour and I'm sure to love getting your opinion on these glimpses at real people. Happy reading.

Looking forward to seeing what you think of all those biographies, Matt. And I'm always interested in more good fantasy Good luck!

Matt, it looks like you've been planning for months!! I will have a good look at your lists and see what ideas I might like to borrow ;)
Enjoy your 2025 challenges!

Your planning is looking great, and your reread list is full of books I really enjoyed too! I hope you have another great reading year in 2025!

I especially enjoyed the Old & New challenge this year! I have planned a Biography, Autobiography, and..."

I love your A-Z Fantasy authors. This is a genre I am just starting to read. The Hugos are a wonderful resource, but I haven't read any of the winners after 2000 yet. You also have other genre books I loved The Hiding Place: The Triumphant True Story of Corrie Ten Boom and The Call of the Wild / White Fang. Great planning. It looks like a lot of fun.

Thanks for commenting on my thread earlier. This looks good, fancy! And creative- like using the fantasy genre for your A-Z . Have fun next year!

Oh my goodness, Matt! I want to copy and paste your challenges and selections and use most of them myself. 😄 Just like last year with your emphasis on French authors and works, what outstanding themes you've chosen for 2025. I know you will have a fantastic year!

I have either read or have on my TBR so many of your Old & New selections. I can't wait to see how you enjoy them. By the way, I was looking over your Epic Fantasy list and wondered if you have ever read any Steampunk from the 1980s forward. Several years ago, I read and loved The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers - supposedly the originator of the more recent genre. I keep saying I'm going to try another author/novel, but I haven't really pursued it.

Happy reading in 2025!

Interesting selection, Matt. All the best!

Wow, fantastic progress! At that length, I sure hope you enjoyed it!

The variety of your reading always fascinates me! I'll be hoping the fourth "T" is just the one you were looking for.

Good luck with the Tchaikovsky!

Definitely a challenging challenge, Matt, but glad you're enjoying it and making discoveries. The Tchaikovsky looks interesting--I hope it's a winner, and look forward to your thoughts!
