Comments on: The Classics Meme http://freerangelibrarian.com/2004/06/24/the-classics-meme/ K.G. Schneider's blog on librarianship, writing, and everything else, since 2003.

Looks like I've read more of the classics than I thought. Not that I remember much about many either. I'm sure they rocked my world when I read them :-) I try to switch up and include an annual re-read of the books that have meant the most to me. Which means I should put down Lolita in Tehran and pick up Invisible Man before the summer disappears. Ellison was an interesting, complex fellow. I also have a list of the Pulitzer winners from the beginning. My plan is to read them in order... (Aside. The preview feature is funky. I couldn't seem to post after reviewing, no button.)

I don’t normally do these things, but I was currious to see just how many of the “classics” I have read.
