I don't know if you ought to. I just decided to so that I made sure they were able to get in there. My TBR list is so long and full of stuff I want to read. I just wanted to make sure that classics got some priority in there.
This is just a way that encourages me to give them a slot.
So far this year I've read:
-
A Room with a View
-
1984
Currently reading:
-
The Master and Margarita
I'm sure I can find 9 more that I want to read quite easily such as
-
A Tale of Two Cities
-
Grapes of Wrath
-
The Brothers Karamazov
-
The Turn of the Screw
-
Fahrenheit 451 (Classic? Haven't decided)
- Some Shakespeare - haven't decided which
-
Slaughterhouse 5 (Classic? Haven't decided)
-
Heart of Darkness
-
The Great Gatsby
-
To the Lighthouse (I feel I need to read Woolf at least once)
-
Old Man and the Sea
And then there's some re-reads that I'm interested in:
-
The Outsider
-
Death in Venice
-
Lord of the Flies
-
Crime and Punishment
I read these four in high school and university and I loved all of them.
The Outsider actually became my favourite novel for a while and I had the opportunity to study it in French as well as English. It was even better in French.
OK - now that I've proved that I actually know how to write a list, I should probably actually try and read some of them.
