2012 Challenge!

I have decided to sign up for a challenge, and I'm very excited!  I'm signing up for the Classics Challenge hosted by November's Autum. 

Here’s a list of some classics I hope to read this year.  I know there are more than seven.  I will choose seven from this list, depending on which ones I find first.   And who knows, I may end up reading them all.

• The Scapegoat (D. du Maurier) – I bought this at a book sale and it’s been sitting on my bookshelf for far too long! 
• Crime and Punishment (F. Dostoevsky) – I read The Brothers Karamazov when I was in high school.  It’s about time I read another book by this author. 
• A Passage to India (E.M. Forster) – I’ve heard some mixed reviews about this one and want to see what I will think about this book.  I've read and enjoyed other books he's written, so we’ll see. 
• Lady Susan (J. Austen) – I love Jane Austen!  I’ve read her other six novels several times, so it’s about time I read this one! 
• Walden (H.D. Thoreau) – This book was mentioned in Rules of Civility, a book I really enjoyed reading.  I’ve been curious about Walden ever since then. 
• Excellent Women (B. Pym) – I read Some Tame Gazelle and enjoyed it, so I want to give another of her books a try. 
• Miss Marjoriebanks (M. Oliphant) – It’s been on my TBR list for a really, really long time.  
• Daniel Deronda (G. Eliot) – I like George Eliot and have already read most of her books, but still haven’t read this one.  
• The Last Chronicle of Barset (A. Trollope) – As the title suggests, it is the last book in the Barsethire series.  I’ve already read the previous ones, so I should really read this one. 
• Can You Forgive Her? (A. Trollope) – This is the first book in the Pallisers series, and I thought it might be a good one to try once I finished with the Barsetshire ones. 
• Lady Anna (A. Trollope) – I really, really liked the other stand-alone novel I read by Trollope (The Way We Live Now), so I wanted to try another of his stand-alone ones.
