Reading Freely 
Wow… very impressive!
Thank you! It was five years in the making. If I can find enough interesting titles I’m going to do another run starting in January. 🙂
Good for you! I look forward to hearing about it!
Here’s hoping I can make more headway on my TBR pile before January, so I don’t have to contend with two stacks at once! 😉
Good luck (but don’t push yourself too much. You should enjoy reading, not feel like it is a chore)!
NICE list…..! [looks impressed]. You’re in danger of motivating me to read more Classics too! [grin]
C’mon in, the water’s fine! (Sometimes it’s dusty, though…)
Extremely impressive! I like your stick-to-it-ness. 😀
Some of these tested it! I’m hoping to do a second set more quickly — 3.5 years, say, instead of 5 — since I’m more disciplined about eliminating distractions these days.
It would be lovely, I think, to do a post about finishing a Classics Club list. It can be daunting at first, like staring from afar at a huge castle while mounted on an old nag and with only a battered sword. But it’s a satisfying feeling to look at the list of books completed.
I like that imagery! You’ve finished the challenge before, I think?
