Stephanie D's Dusty Shelf Classics

[Bob, Short Story Classics]

I've read six from your list. Of the six I've read Ethan Frome and Cannery Row both stand out as truly excellent. Edith Wharton and John Steinbeck are two favorites. Good Luck!

I've read 6 from your list and have Emma and Memoirs of a Geisha on my list for this year. The Princess Bride is one of my all-time favourite books (and films) and I highly recommend it if you have time to squeeze it in :)

[Laurie]

I've read 5 of your choices and am currently reading Cuckoo's Nest. You have some great choices and I hope you enjoy your challenge.

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

I've read a few on your list and want to read the others. Never enough time for all the good books in the world.

[Michelle]

I've read 5 on your list. Memoirs of a Geisha I've read twice and it was absolutely amazing the first time. The second time didn't wow me quite as much, though. Probably because I had seen the movie then....

[Sara, New School Classics]

Love your list. I have read 8 of them and loved them all. I read Memoirs of a Geisha before I saw the movie and was glad of that.

[Powder River Rose]

Great list of classics. If you like audio then you might really like Lady Windermere's Fan in the unabridged full cast version. It's very good. Happy Reading!

[Sara, New School Classics]

I re-read Gone With the Wind a few years ago and loved it as much the second time around. I hope you are enjoying it too.

[Bob, Short Story Classics]

Heidi is a book that I hope to read this year, glad to know it's good. As for Gone with the Wind, it is top notch, I enjoyed it very much.

Currently reading Gone with the Wind with a buddy. Looking to complete in early February."

GwTW is a good read -- I've read it several times.

Congrats on completing your first two books!

[Sara, New School Classics]

Hope you enjoy all the books you read this year as much as GWTW.

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Excellent. Fun is what it is supposed to be. Happy Reading.

Stef, nice review of Black Beauty :) I really want to read it soon

Great progress with your challenge! Not dangerous, only indicates your amazing drive

[Kathleen]

I enjoyed your review of Black Beauty, Stephanie. I've never read it, and you pointed out some details that made me really want to, though I know parts will be tough.

Congrats on your progress!

Totally agree with your review of Lady Windermere's Fan...loved it! The characters were all great and each brought something to the story.

So many great lines!

[Susie]

No...this was my first, but I'll definitely be reading more!

[Sara, New School Classics]

You are whipping along, Steph!

[Pink]

Looks like you're having good luck with your book choices at the moment. Well done :)
