I certainly hope to read more classics in the new year. I'm looking forward to the totals ... always fun to see how we all did. Thanks for all you do as moderators!!
I'm with you too Martha. I love the stats. This year 2016, my classics might be a down because my reading resolution is focusing on series and trilogies I've started.

A wonderful collection of stories. The last two were truly memorable, There will Come Soft Rains will stay with me for years. The description of the side of the house is gripping. As for the last story, The Million-Year Picnic, the reflected image of the Martians and the hope of a fresh start was a fitting end.
