Pride and Prejudice. I keep meaning to read it!

The Scarlet Letter. I have a copy, I really should read it.

@Mrs. Cowgirl: I'm very much looking forward to The Great Gatsby. The book is pretty short. I bet you could read it in no time.

I loved The Great Gatsby!! So happy Leo DiCaprio is in it

I've been trying to read Wuthering Heights.

Never read anything by Thomas Hardy. He's on my list but these days my attention span is nonexistent. And I love reading but if I get five minutes to myself, I love sleeping more.

@Mrs. Pen: It took me awhile to get through A Tale Of Two Cities (like, a month, and I took breaks to read other stuff while I worked through it), but it was so, so worth it!

I actually feel like I've read quite a few classics, but then I look at the list and realize I've barely scratched the surface. But putting my toasted mommy brain to that much effort to read a book (not all classics are really heavy reading, obviously, but a lot of them are and I need something fluffy and engaging to hold my attention these days, lol) just feels like too much work right now. Some of the ones I haven't read are any of Jane Austen's (clutches throat), Gone With The Wind (preparing to be murdered in my bed tonight, but the movie was such a waste of 4 hours of my life, I can't imagine devoting any time to the book), most if Dicken's, yeah, there's a lot I haven't read.
