Life goes on but classics endure

It has been a very very long time since I wrote on this blog. Life as it tends to do sneaks up and allocates your free time to everything. I certainly want to post more about classics on this blog. I want to share what I have read and hear what you have read and get suggestions. So please feel free to comment on suggestions here on this post. I know that I do not have a very big readership. I thank ETJ for following me so many years ago (he knows who he is). I will hopefully be adding a new blog post soon and try to get into a rhythm publishing a new post.

Iron Heel by Jack London

I was looking at Wikipedia's list of dystopian novels and came across Jack London's "Iron Heel". It looks very intriguing.

Have any readers read this classic? If so please leave a comment telling me what you thought of it. Is it plausible?

What do you recommend?

Hello all,

After an extremely long hiatus from posting, here is a short and sweet new post.

What are YOU reading that is a classic?
What do you consider classics that do not currently have 'Classic' printed somewhere on them? (Such as Signet Classic, Bantam Classic, Perennial Classics, etc).

I have been reading Jim Butcher's series "The Dresden Files" (currently on book 3, Grave Peril).
I do not consider this to be a classic. It is entertaining though!

So let's hear it... what do you consider to be classic AND have you read it this year? Are you reading it right now? How many times have you read it?

Entire Barnes & Noble Classic set still available

Those that had seen my post last year about Barnes & Noble offering the entire paperback edition of their classics for sale will notice that the link I provided is no longer available for purchase (the 2008 edition).

For whatever reason they have changed the link, and dropped 1 book (2008 says 200 titles, this link says 199 titles). I find it funny that you can add the library to your 'bag' in order to purchase on the site. :)

If I had the money I'd be doing this! However I probably have a good 1/3 to 1/2 purchased in this format anyway!

What do you all think of getting a set of classics this way? Is it overkill? I personally think it is a wonderful way to get the classics if you know someone (like me) who truly enjoys classics.
