Sign up for the Classics Club

Ok, so I will admit to being one of those people who have a lot of classic books, but have not read any of them. I know a shame, right? I have been thinking that I need to read them, especially since I have seen a few of the movies based on the books and really enjoyed them. I than came across The Classics Club which members assign themselves a certain amount of books to read, and try to read them in a certain amount of time (most people have 5 yrs as their goal). So I figured what better way to find other classics books that I may not have heard of and at the same time challenge myself to actually read the books I have. I am thinking perhaps of watching any movies that are based on my list of books below. Here is the list of classic that I plan on reading. The asteriak mark * means this is a reread for me, yes this is allowed. I hope to complete this list by Aug 1 2017. I consider memoirs to be classics. Here is my list;
