Book2Dragon | 5 comments Define "Classic" for me. Does it have to be in 2025 that I read it?

If you go to our Fundamentals thread, it will give you the dates for each genre, but it's generally 50 years since the first publishing date.
All the books need to have been read this year, 2025.

There is an error in page counting here as this book was published in 2024 and therefore is not a classic.

Carey thank you for double checking but this one does count as it is part of the 2025 Jane Austen Challenge ase it is celebrating her 250th Birth Year. Kind of like our Non-Fiction that the subject is over 50 years old.

Luis I think it is okay. Kate forgot to add her total in and the next member didnt catch or add her pages in.

We should be at what Rosemarie has.
