Thoughts on the Classics
In the continuing pursuit of knowledge (and because it's fun), I have been trying to increase the number of books that I read as well as the number of words that I write. I found an excellent resource of fiction to read for writers, and I was surprised by how many of the classics on the list I had not read during my time in school. Given the number of classics available for free in e-book versions, I find this inexcusable. So, I combed through the list and downloaded a few classics to add to my current queue, all free (note my links take you to bookshop.org, and online collab with indie bookstores), including:
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, James Joyce
The Three Musketeers, Alexandre Dumas
Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte
Dracula, Bram Stoker
Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy
The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde
Don Quixote, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
Tess of the d'Ubervilles, Thomas Hardy
The Call of the Wild, Jack London
The Jungle, Upton Sinclair
The Red Badge of Courage, Stephen Crane
