Kat’s comments from the Classics Without All the Class group.

Well, I'm not even close to completing the 2016 Classic author challenge. My only defence is that I've been very distracted by politics and granddaughters in 2016 with grandchildren definitely being the more positive distraction of the two.
They do say "if at first you don't succeed try again" so will be having another go at it in 2017.
Well done to all those that have completed the challenge, or are close to doing so.

Sorry John, it's my first time doing this challenge so thought we needed to post the list of books beforehand, it seems I was wrong and we should be adding them to the list once we have read them.

I've also missed Y. darn it. Will think of something and add later.

Whoops, had trouble with the computer,
Vonnegut Kurt - Slaughterhouse Five should be V however it's on the line above.

Doubt I'll get through them all but here goes:

hi I'm Kat from ENGLAND near bristol, preferred genres are existential and dystopian novels. I enjoy most of the classics so I'm here to share my interests with others who have similar tastes in literature. last consumed pop culture: I read a newspaper article regarding Sinead o, Conner giving Miley Cyrus advice about her conduct. it was everywhere and almost impossible to ignore.
