Back to the Classics 2011

Get Ready for the "Back to the Classics Challenge 2011" hosted by Sarah Reads Too Much (hey, that's me!)  I am constructing this challenge to encourage myself to read more Classic Literature...  you know, all those books that we want to read "someday".  Well, the time is now.  I hope you will join me!

This challenge is open to anyone who would like to participate.  You can join in at any point.  If you do not have a blog of your own, please feel free to update using the Comments section of this post.  I will start a separate page on this blog to track my own progress, and you can feel free to comment there as well.  This is intended to be a stress-free challenge, and therefore I am giving a 6 month time frame for completion.  The Challenge will be open from January - DECEMBER 2011.  You can list you book choices before the challenge starts, or as you go along....  whatever works best for you.
