It's almost the end of the month and there will be nine reading months left in the year. Trying to decide on what classics to read has been a chore for some time. So I have decided to make it a little easier. I am going to choose 10 authors I have either not read or if I have read them it has been so long I can't remember what I read of them.
Why ten authors, not nine, so each could have their own month? Because that would be too easy. This is more of a challenge. I have a couple more limitations/rules, but first, here are the authors in no particular order:
- Jane Austen
- George Orwell
- Anthony Trollope
- Sherwin Anderson
- George Elliot
- Charles Dickens
- J.R.R. Tolkien
- Thomas Hardy
- Aldous Huxley
- (TBA later)
Looking at the list I see that male authors greatly outnumber female writers. Even if I chose a woman writer as my tenth choice, it won't make much of a difference. So be it.
Any other rules or limitations on the title selections? I don't think so at this time, but that may change.
How will I update the list? I will enter an update in a future blog post and include the label "Reading Challenge" with any others for that post.
It's a nice challenge but I particularly like the globe in your picture.
