It must be the season's thrill and a sudden burst of jolly good mood or simply these are just too good ideas to let them go by like that. So I'm joining another challenge. Hosted by booklogged at A Reader's Journal comes the Winter Classics Challenge.
We are to read five classics during the months of January and February. Yes!! I like it! Here's my list:
#1. Bleak House by Charles Dickens (ok, it overlaps with the Chunkster Challenge)
#2. The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
#3. The Two Towers
#4. The Return of the King (do they count as three?)
#5. The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame
Ok, as a backup for The Lord of the Rings (I don't know but I feel as if I were cheating):
# Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
# Candide by Voltaire

It's wonderful that you are joining us in the classics challenge. Overlapping with the chunkster challenge is cool - I'm doing it, too. Three Tolkein books sounds like a brave thing to do. Those books scare me, even though my daughter has read them a couple of times and my husband, too. Maybe someday...18 December 2006 at 1:01:00 pm GMT-8Bookish Lore, what country are you from that you wanted the summer snowman?18 December 2006 at 2:14:00 pm GMT-8Thanks for stopping by! Yes, Tolkien is intimidating but hey, it's a challenge, isn't? :) besides they were a Christmas' present from my brother and I seriously believe he'll be considering fratricide unless I read them. As regards my location on the map, look south, south till you get to the bottom and there I am, in the always unpredictable and certainly crazy Argentina.
