Find a “Classic” Novel - Stage 1
Greetings, Visitor!
This quest challenges you to read a “classic” book. The reason why classic is in quotes here is because the term is a bit subjective. Who determines what is a classic or not? Are there titles that should or should not be part of this category?
In general, though, these are books that have been around for years and years, and they stand the test of time. There are many lists of classic books out there, but to get started, click here to browse a list.
Do any titles stand out as something you’ve been wanting to read but never have? When reading the descriptions, do you see any that look appealing to you?
To complete this quest, respond to the prompts below and then click Complete. And, if you keep a To-Be-Read (TBR) list on Goodreads, on paper, etc. – consider adding what you found!
What is the the title and author information for the classic book that looks interesting to you?
What was the context for the book’s writing and/or publication? When and where was it written/published?
Why do you think it is considered a classic? What impact has this book had? HINT: You can always do some extra searching to find out why people consider it a classic.
