I came across Arthur and George on a classics mystery list and it intrigued me. Other than that I don't know much about it! I'm looking forward to getting to work on this list!Katherine Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126062556416434416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-81194826014154806792014-08-24T03:22:08.183-05:002014-08-24T03:22:08.183-05:00I've read many among those, you're in for ...I've read many among those, you're in for a great fun discovery !

I'm not much of a classics reader on my own so I was hoping this might inspire me to fill in some of the books I missed. I did kind of go the easy route.

Although I am not a classic reader and there's no way I will read 50 of them even in 5 years it makes me want to participate. :)<br />I'll definitely have an eye on your progress. Lol.

I cheated a little and didn't put any massive books on my list because I know with all the other books I have to read they'd never get read if I did. I'm hoping this will be a good way to get some of the short reads I've been missing out of the way.Katherine Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126062556416434416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-61171920783460245562014-08-22T07:12:52.500-05:002014-08-22T07:12:52.500-05:00I am a little scared of it because I hated it so ...I am a little scared of it because I hated it so much when I read it the first time. However, that 14 year old and I don't have all that much in common - or at least that's what I keep telling myself!
