Speaking of Challenges: The Back To School Challenge
August 27, 2008
I would like to start a challenge, for myself and whoever wants to join me:
Reading a “Classic” I either read in high school, or should have read in high school. I’d been pondering a re-read of “Catcher In The Rye,” which I remember loathing. It’s the only Salinger I’ve ever read. So I’d read something else by him. I read Gatsby a few years ago, and would be open to more F. Scott Fitzgerald. And I did love Anna Karenina.
However, having said that… I am open to the challenge of reading whatever classic work of literature is strongly suggested to me.
So I’m opening up the discussion. What should I read in the month of September? Blogging the experience, of course.

Hmmm what books did you read in high school? That might help expand things.
Posted a more comprehensive list. I know there were more, though I’m not remembering them.
what an interesting challenge idea! we didn’t have reading requirements in my country, but my mom taught literature so she gave me “must read” books and then quizzed me on them later :p i’d like to re-read books that i didn’t like as much as i might, if i had found them on my own rather than made to read them. like “the great gatsby”, “to kill a mockingbird”, “catcher in the rye”, and maybe “things fall apart.”
