Wow, what a great idea! I'm already doing the 2015 reading challenge. I might make this my 2016 reading challenge though!Not sure how I'll go reading Shakespeare, I just can't do it. Same with Jane Austen.

I would look for an audiobook version of hamlet, there might be a good production version of one that will make it easier for you. The Jane Austen book that both Ashleigh and me read is a comedy, written by an Australian author who is a member of this group, you should give it a go, I think you'll enjoy it.

I've read Pinocchio now so another one crossed off this list.
Oh great. I have it at home but avoided it a bit. The movie or rather Pleasure Island always freaked me put
It's been a while but I've completed another book for this challenge, Tarzan.
How was that? It’s one of those classics I have never been sure about to read or not
You gotta read it, it was brilliant, I don't know why it gets ignored so much, easy to read too.
