COMPLETED
I signed up to read six books out of the possible 12 categories, with a stretch goal of reading nine, which I reached. As I suspected, I read more than nine books that would qualify as "classics" under the definition, but they overlapped the same nine categories.
The Back to the Classics Challenge is hosted by Karen at Books and Chocolate. Thank for hosting, Karen!
