Re-joining the Classics Club

The Classics Club is a challenge in which you make a list of 50+ classics, with the aim of reading and blogging about them within 5 years.

I originally signed up back in February 2016, but it kind of fizzled out (mainly because I ended up going on a 5-year blogging hiatus). However, I've been reading more lately and I'm trying to get back into blogging, so I've decided I'm going to try again, with a new list. This time around I've included some re-reads, although the majority of books on the list are new to me. I decided to include books that are at least 50 years old. I've not included any classic mysteries: I read a lot of these, and could quite easily get through 50 books in 5 years just in this category, but I want to challenge myself to read a wider variety of classics, including some of the intimidating ones I've been putting off.

Here is my list of 50 books that I plan to read over the next five years. To make it easy to remember, I'm setting my final deadline as 31 December 2027.
