I'm similarly interested in your own list, by the way - this classics challenge is going to be fun!<BR/><BR/>Bookgirl, I can't wait to see your list; maybe you could read Labyrinth too!The Travellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06966358386701534860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31271184.post-1165420813150431492006-12-06T16:00:00.000+00:002006-12-06T16:00:00.000+00:00Your list is fantastic - so varied!

I love all the books you've picked to read but I'm particularly interested in "The Memoirs of Lady Hyegyong" (isn't Margaret Drabble's "The Red Queen" also based on the diaries of this particular princess?). I'd also love to read your thoughts on "The Obscene Bird of the Night".<BR/><BR/>Yes, I'm probably going to change some of the books on my list as I go along, too - I'd like to include something from South America, I really haven't read too much from that side of the world. <BR/><BR/>Good luck with the challenge and happy reading!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31271184.post-1165398110705987772006-12-06T09:41:00.000+00:002006-12-06T09:41:00.000+00:00That's what is so great about your challenge!

And it was stimulating just to do a little research and dig around and find out what are considered classics of literature in other countries, instead of picking up whatever I come across from country x and reading that. So thanks for the inspiration booklogged!The Travellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06966358386701534860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31271184.post-1165367105986974842006-12-06T01:05:00.000+00:002006-12-06T01:05:00.000+00:00Traveller, this is any interesting twist that has ...Traveller, this is any interesting twist that has developed - reading classics from different countries. I love it. I like when an idea grows into something more than intened. Someday I'm going to be brave enough to branch out and try some of your Around the World books. They all sound so enticing. The Memoirs of Lady Hyegyong really captures my attention. Look forward to your reviews.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
