For 2021 I embarked on a project of having every other book I read be a bona fide "classic", even though that's one contentious and sticky thing to define. I went with the boring old biased Canon, but in future anna, I'll shake it up. The project officially began with "Call of the Wild" (a classic) when I had reached a significant personal milestone. From that point I decided to undertake it the remainder of the year. It has been enriching, but I'll be glad for the break.
A little clarification: "Proof", not a stuffy old masterwork by any route, is injected amidst the fray because it was a book I'd read to a friend, irrespective of my own reading-rhythm. To get re-oriented from there: "Bridge" is I'd say a classic; "Last Bow", non-Classic; so on and so forth. The other title that's been shoehorned in because I read it to someone else is "Electric Forest".
Favorite "regular" book? "Wind/Pinball", I'd say. Favorite classic? "The Tempest".
Happy New Year.
