Day 3: All The Classics I Want to Read in 2023

 

I am always working on reading classic literature. It's my favorite "genre" to read from and no matter what is going on in my life, I glean wisdom and truths about the human existence. I absolutely love classics (I'm looking at you Tolstoy).

In 2023, I will be slowing down my life and my reading to a great extent. I'm excited to say that I don't mind if I am able to get to all of these, but they are all on the pile of choices I will have for 2023

I really love reading the stories of female protagonist. Thomas Hardy does this well in his novels, my favorite being Far From the Madding Crowd. 

I read my first Trollope novel this Autumn, and I am happy to say that he gave me a Hardy world, with a lighter edge (much lighter) to it. It was a delightful cast of characters and I felt utterly wrapped in the world of Barchester. 

As 2023 opens, I want to begin the year reading George Eliot. I adore Mary Ann Evans (her real name), and have had Daniel Deronda in my sights for quite some time. 

I love taking my time with classics and this tome will be no exception.

Happy classic reading my slow living friends.
