I'm not sure if it's because they were forced on me during school or what, but I avoid them. I can appreciate them for what they are, what they represent, and what they've accomplished, but they just don't do it for me. Kudos on your list! I hope you're able to get through them all!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.doyoudog-ear.com/" rel="nofollow">Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? 💬</a>Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-39185443388890891812019-05-09T14:32:39.171-05:002019-05-09T14:32:39.171-05:00Yay!

I'll start next week, and the list will go up on the blog then. I think we have Bell Jar and Howard's End in common. <br /><br />I re-read Jungle Book a couple of years ago, and like a lot of classic children's lit, I definitely see more racism and colonialism in it now. I remember liking Man & Superman when I read a bunch of GB Shaw in college, and being very unsettled by Yellow Wallpaper. I didn't think of essays for my list; John Muir would be interesting to read. <br /><br />Enjoy the adventure!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06296827820807569574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-63654746945133971682019-05-09T13:29:58.553-05:002019-05-09T13:29:58.553-05:00What a fun list!

I'm particularly looking forward to what you think about the children's classics--they're mostly new to me.<br /><br />I have We on my classics club list and read it last summer and quite liked it. Some of the others I read pre-blogging, but Bleak House is one of my favorite Dickens.<br /><br />Congratulations on finishing your first list!reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15818057262934008241noreply@blogger.com
