The Not-So-Dirty Half Dozen Challenge.
1. Read a work of Classic literature - one you've never read before.
The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins Thanks to Rebekah for the suggestion.
I liked it. It is not my favourite book in the whole world, but it is interesting.
Genre Challenge
It's hard to pick books for all of these at once, so I'll update as I choose what to read.
- Historical Fiction/Alternative History
Undecided- Western
Undecided
- Horror
Undecided
- Mystery
Undecided
- (Auto-) Biography
I'm leaning toward Ivan the Terrible. I don't know why.
- History

Im leaning toward the Farsythe Saga by John Galsworthy. Possibly only the first half though.
- Allegory/parody/satire
Undecided, open to suggestions
Pratchett? Adams? Fforde?

Dreading. Open to suggestions
I liked Boris Vian's Froth on the daydream. It is very strange, but that is the point.

It's pretty much impossible to choose a best Classic. They're all so different.
