Classics/Plays/Poetry

While reading ideas are included here and displays featured in most library locations, what you read is entirely your choice. To participate in the program, you must read one book each from five different categories. See the main page for complete details and all ten categories.

What classics have you read? Which are ready for re-reading? Find long lists of classics to discover (and rediscover) at these sites:

• The Modern Library's Top 100 (along with reader votes)
• A follow-up list from NPR
• Time Magazine's All-TIME Top 100 Novels (1923-2005)
• Huffington Post's "March Madness"-style bracket classic competition
• Two entries from across the pond -- the Telegraph and the Observer weigh in with their lists
