The Classics Club

The Classics Club is a community of Classics Lovers who are taking on the challenge of reading at least 50 classics in 5 years. It started when a blogger wanted to see more people discussing classic literature, and it has now grown to a huge community of classic readers and bloggers.

I’ve got a lot of classics I’ve been meaning to read, and some I’d like to reread and discuss with others. So I’m joining the club and making a list! Starting December 1, 2023, and ending on Dec 1, 2028, in no particular order, and subject to change…
