as for something to do Ive decided to create a list of good classic books. this idea came to me for two reasons i have many friends that would like to read some classics but all the ones they've read are boring or they don't understand them and the second i, while enjoying other books, enjoy classics just as much.so i propose a list of 101 titles all classics and all books i personally will read. now some recommendations: i would suggest reading the books in order, of course ill be reading them in order, but there has to be some rhyme and reason in the scheme of things for example it's better to ease yourself into Shakespeare than dive right in, and just because you can read romeo and Juliet doesn't mean that Dante's inferno is next on the list. i will also right a post or review on each book i read telling you what i PERSONALLY thought of it. remember just because i like a book doesn't mean that you will and while i am an avid book reader i usually don't read a book just to butcher it to find the things i didn't like about it. authors may come into play in some posts unfortunately but i will try to keep it as much about the books as possible because that's what i enjoy and I'm guessing what anyone whose willing to take this challenge enjoys as well.... the books!
*this may come as a surprise to some or maybe even an insult but for most classics at least in the beginning i recommend watching the movie first (which i absolutely don't for other books!) this is because while your reading in helps you understand the story line , like placing where you are on a map. also it can evolve the characters which some classics take longer to do.*
