Catching up on Classics (and lots more!) discussion

Since I only just recently started participating in this group, I thought I'd join this challenge before the year's out. Plus, I'm really enjoying reading the classics.

1899 and before:
1. King Learby William Shakespeare (1603)
1900-1999
2. Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston (1937)
3. Doctor Zhivagoby Boris Pasternak (1957)

Alternate:
A1: The Pilgrim's Progressby John Bunyan (1678)

Looks like you have some good books for your challenge.

I read "Their Eyes Were Watching God" last year--it was really good.

Welcome to the challenge Ellen. What a nice group of books for your reading.

Good luck with your challenge, you've chosen some great books!

:) Thanks, all. I'm downloading Lear right now. I read it in college some 10 years ago (view spoiler)[but don't remember much except a guy having his eyes gouged out (hide spoiler)], so I'm looking forward to a reread with commentary. (Btw, if anyone else is interested in annotated Shakespeare plays, check out www.chopbard.com. He's just starting the Winter's Tale now.)

Good luck Ellen ..great choices btw
