Back to the Classics Challenge 2011

January 1 - June 30, 2011

Sarah from Sarah Reads Too Much is hosting the Back to the Classics Challenge in 2011. She writes:

I am constructing this challenge to encourage myself to read more Classic Literature... you know, all those books that we want to read "someday". Well, the time is now. I hope you will join me!

Guidelines:

• This challenge is open to anyone who would like to participate.
• You can join in at any point.
• If you do not have a blog of your own, you can leave comments on the post about the challenge.
• You can list you book choices before the challenge starts, or as you go along.... whatever works best for you.

The goals to complete the challenge:

1. A Banned Book
2. A Book with a Wartime Setting (can be any war)
3. A Pulitzer Prize (Fiction) Winner or Runner Up: a list can be found here
4. A Children's/Young Adult Classic
5. 19th Century Classic
6. 20th Century Classic
7. A Book you think should be considered a 21st Century Classic
8. Re-Read a book from your High School/College Classes

Books in this Challenge can be used toward other challenges as well, but there must be 8 different books for these goals.
