I'm going to do this reading challenge: Sarah Reads Too Much: Back to the Classics Challenge 2011. I don't have problems finding enough reading material or reading classics but I think it gives a nice shape to the first half of my reading year.
Here are the goals to complete and what I'm thinking of for each of them:
1. A Banned Book (The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood)
2. A Book With a Wartime Setting (All Quiet on the Western Front by Eric Maria Remarque)
3. A Pulitzer Prize (Fiction) Winner or Runner Up (There are so many to choose from so I think I'll hold off for a while)
4. A Children's/Young Adult Classic (The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton)
5. 19th Century Classic (A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.. because I have it already)
6. 20th Century Classic (Henderson the Rain King by Saul Bellow.. also because I have it already)
7. A Book you think should be considered a 21st century classic (This is one is more difficult because how am I supposed to know I consider it a 21st century classic until I read it? Any suggestions?)
8. Re-Read a Book from High School/College Classes (I'm thinking Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison or Catcher in the Rye by Salinger)
Any recommendations for the Pulitzer Prize winner or the 21st century classic?
