Upcoming Reading List!!
Hello fellow Classic Readers. I hope everyone is doing well. Below is the list of books for the rest of the year so you can plan ahead for your reading. I am still looking for suggestions for September. I am hoping for books not written by old white men. Not that old white men aren't wonderful (my dad is a peach) but we want to read a variety of writers. Leave any and all suggestions in the comments. Don Quixote will be spread out over November and December because it is so long (thanks for pointing that out to me
seanlily)
And just in case people are unaware. Anyone is allowed to post anything even tangentially related to the classic novel we are reading.

An exciting and often terrifying adventure story, as well as an important precursor to such famous nineteenth-century slave narratives as Frederick Douglass's autobiographies, Olaudah Equiano's Narrative recounts his kidnapping in Africa at the age of ten, his service as the slave of an officer in the British Navy, his ten years of labor on slave ships until he was able to purchase his freedom in 1766, and his life afterward as a leading and respected figure in the antislavery movement in England. A spirited autobiography, a tale of spiritual quest and fulfillment, and a sophisticated treatise on religion, politics, and economics, The Interesting Narrative is a work of enduring literary and historical value.
