I’ve just discovered two more upcoming Reading Challenges: the Classics Challenge and the 2007 TBR [To Be Read] Challenge.

Both of them look intriguing. With the Classics Challenge, you pick five literary classics to read between 01 January 2007 and 28 February 2007. Stay tuned for the official launch of this challenge in late December.

For the TBR Challenge, you pick 12 books that you’ve had on your list of “books you’ve been wanting to read” for 6 months or longer. Then you read one book in each month of 2007.

This sounds like fun, so I’m signing up. Here are my plans for the Classics Challenge:

• Bartholomew Fair (Ben Jonson)
• The Bostonians (Henry James)
• Dead Souls (Nikolai Gogol)
• Don Quixote (Miguel de Cervantes)
• Volpone (Ben Jonson)

I haven’t figured out my list for the 2007 TBR challenge yet, but I’ll post it in my left sidebar when I do.
