Reading the Classics in 2013: My Classics Odyssey

I have decided to make it my goal to read classic novels in 2013. Who knows. I might decide to do it after 2013 as well. We shall see.

That being said, you need to know that for the most part, I have not read the Classics since high school. So, it has been a couple of decades. Therefore, this is a loftier ambition than it might sound.

I have no idea how many I will read, but will only read only the Classics. Also, they have to be $5 or less for each book. Preferably, the books will be free.

My classics odyssey will start with LES MISERABLES by Victor Hugo.

I will journal about it, by the way.

Does anyone else Want to join me on this Odyssey? You read what you want and journal about it, too.

Cammi's Story, Tanpres, Zeagar have moved to: www.Speclitstoriesbystacy.blogspot.com/

This will always be my main site. I'm also thinking of starting a blog on journaling... We shall see. (Lord, help this overachiever.)

So, what do you think?

Thoughts in General About Books:

What do you like in a book? Can you send me your thoughts on it, please?

Me: I like to escape this world, and my life, for a while. I like to get lost in the story and imagine myself in the story. I like something that teaches important life lessons and has a good moral to the story. I like several genres equally. I love to find quotes from books that I keep in a notebook as inspiration later.
