One classic a month... Just that. The rest is whatever I want to read at the moment.

I’m trying to read the classics myself. I started Oliver Twist 3x last year before I finally finished it. I want to read The Complete works of Dickens but that style of writing slows me down. I want to read the Iliad and the Odyssey. The Hunchback of Norte Dame. Frankenstein. Phantom of the Opera. I would even like to tackle Shakespeare. I bought the book of complete works of Longfellow.

Classics can’t be rushed. Reading shouldn’t be rushed. A good book is savored, like a glass of good wine. Take your time and enjoy the books.

Having said that, a friend of mine has the most appropriate screen name: 2manybooks2littletime
