The Classics Club Project

I’m been read and read so many books since I can read, and I just know that my passion of readings and listen even seing some of the great stories is so addictate. Can I leave a day without reading or listen or seing some stories ? The answers is never, maybe if I been sleeping all day ... that another stories.

After so many years, reading so many books, trying different genre, different categories, I find out that everyday there is a new kind of books, a new kind stories to tell. In the past two years, I realize that classic stories also have so many genre that I can explore. So without further talking about it, I decided to try a new challenge on keep track at my classic-readings. Two of my friend already joined this project, and I would like to test how far I can persued my motivation to wide-out my readings.

This project call “The Classic’s Club Project” host by "Jilian" with the Challenge is make a list from 50 – 100 – 200, on your classic reading list for 5 years ahead. Just for everyone knowledge, my perception on classical books are wider, including some fantasy, epic historical, and children literature. So today at 31^th  May , 2012 – 31^th  May, 2017 I’m gonna start with my readings list and also makes some reviews about it in my blog Hobby Buku's Classic  ; I might added this list if there’s enough time to find another great book – reading it – and makes some reviews on the future.
