2023 update: It's been five years since I started The Classics Club, a challenge to read 50 classics in five years. While I didn't read all 50 from this particular list, I've definitely gone above and beyond my 50 overall since December 2018. I am ready to start this challenge over again with a start date of November 13, 2023 and ending November 13, 2028. This time through I will add titles to the list when I finish classics that are not on the list already. I will define "classic" as a book published prior to 1970. Those I've read prior to this second round commitment will be marked in red; those underlined, red (or blue if linked to a review), and in bold are ones I've read since beginning this second round of the challenge; those crossed out are ones I started and abandoned or decided not to start after reading reviews.
I'm starting with 67 read.
32/50 read for commitment since 11/2023
