Must-Read Classics
15 Classics to Finish This Year
My favorite New Year's resolutions are cultural ones — they take determination, but are also kind of indulgent. Last week I asked which books you were determined to read in 2011, and the majority of you named classic works of literature. Here are 15 books you plan to read in 2011.
- Great Expectations, Charles Dickens
- Waiting For Godot, Samuel Beckett
- Gulliver's Travels, Jonathan Swift
- Don Quixote, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
- Middlemarch, George Eliot
- Dracula, Bram Stoker
- Madame Bovary, Gustave Flaubert
- Moby Dick, Herman Melville
- The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoyevsky
- Three Lives, Gertrude Stein
- The Mayor of Casterbridge, Thomas Hardy
- A Passage to India, E.M. Forster
- Vanity Fair, William Makepeace Thackeray
- Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy
- The Egyptian Book of the Dead, Robert Winston
