Both of these books are new to me.
Book 1 - Option 2
Read Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. This is the 3rd oldest book on my Russian Literature to read list, added in September 2010.
Book 2 - Option 3
Read Claire of the Sea Light by Edwidge Danticat. Edwidge Danticat is on my most read author list, #41. I have read 2 books by her before. (I don't typically follow authors, so, do not have many that I have read too many books before)
Crime and Punishment has 545 pages, so, I claim 1 Big Book ticket. Claire of the Sea Light has 238 pages, so, combined these are over 600 pages meeting the requirements.
Crime and Punishment was published in 1866, so, I claim 1 Golden Oldie ticket for this book.
