The Classics Pre-Challenge Fun

May 26, 2008 by Darlene

To get us excited about The Classics Challenge, Trish from Trish’s Reading Nook, which you can find here, has come up with some questions, which you can find here. So, here goes with my answers:

1. My favorite classic is-well there are a couple. I loved To Kill a Mockingbird and Gone With the Wind.

2. The classic I had the toughest time finishing was without a doubt Anna Karenina. I just could not finish reading that book.

3. I would recommend ….to someone who doesn’t read a lot of classics or doesn’t generally like classics so much (like me-LOL)-To Kill a Mockingbird and Gone With the Wind definitely-both are great books and easy to read. I’d also recommend Jane Eyre which is a good story to start off with.

4. To me a classic is a book that stands the test of time and gets recommended over and over again and will still be here years from now.

5. The type of relationship I have with classics is—hmmmmm, not the greatest I’ll admit. I usually feel I’m missing out on something by not reading more of them yet I have a hard time getting into them most of the time. I think this is a great challenge to get us reading more of them though because they are great pieces of literature and many of them I’d like to say I have read in my lifetime.

    Great answers Dar! Gone with the Wind was a little too long for me (I think just bad timing) but I really enjoyed To Kill a Mockingbird. I agree with your answer to the last question–I tend to shy away from classics as well even though there are so many out there to be read!

    To my shame, I have to say I’ve never read To Kill A Mockingbird. I must read that ;0)
