I tend to have categories that are important to me and not specific books. Still, there are a few exceptions; I'll give this some thought, perhaps coming up with a very short list of high priority books. It would fit in with my pre-20th century novel challenge; there are some doorstops that I've been planning to read or reread for years. Not forgetting Clarissa!

And... while I've expressed an intention to carry forward with most of my challenges, that makes them less of a challenge! So, as a challenge that would truly challenge me and reap rewards, I'm contemplating a poem-a-day challenge. But I'm also afraid that I'd be overcommitting; poetry is hard. There's no point to knocking off a poem in the five minutes before I go to bed. Well, maybe there's a point, but it's not the point.
