The Classics Club


In an effort to read more classic literature (or get back into reading classic literature, I should say), I've decided to join the Classics Club.  You'll notice that a good chunk of books on my list are by French authors.  I've been slacking so much in that department lately so this is a reason to kick myself in the butt and get reading!  I'm planning on reading these is 5 years, so hopefully this list will be completely read by 9/1/2018!  Here is my list of 50 books (some of wish are poems and short stories I believe):
