  1. Your mix of "chunky" classics and lighter classics is a good strategy

    1. I know, right? It makes our reading lives much more fun and less tedious.

  2. I'm SHOCKED to see Zola on your list. ;) We Have Always Lived in the Castle is one of my favorites. I teach it almost every year in at least one of my literature classes (often alternating between that one and The Haunting of Hill House.)

    1. LOL! It might be my last one, since I have read all Zola's Rougon Macquart but Doctor Pascal. ;)
      I've been go back and forth with We Have Always Lived in the Castle, but this year I'm determined to finally read it.
