Malazan Empire: JPK - Viewing Profile - Malazan Empire

A couple of weeks ago I decided that over the course of the next year I'm finally going to tackle several staples in Classic Lit that I probably should have read by now, so I sat down and made a list of the books I already own and then added in several I could think of off the top of my head.

Unsurprisingly, I found that the list that I came up with skewed heavily towards old white guys. In response, I reached out to a couple friends and asked them to help fill out my list with some that were written by women. They delivered and while my list still leans towards men, it's at least no longer an 80/20 split.

Additionally, one of them suggested a wonderful app called Serial Reader which delivers a serialized chunk of a novel once a day to my phone. Now I'll admit that I wish it went to my Kobo instead, but they're typically small chunks so I decided I'll suffer through reading on my phone screen.

Anyways, I figure I'll use this space as I read though these so I don't clutter up the main reading thread, and it'll also serve as a good spot for people to recommend things to continue filling in my literary gaps.

Now I know that the definition of Classic Lit is very vague, so I'm open to suggestions that should be seen as Classics but may have been overlooked for usually sadly obvious reasons such as racism or sexism.

Finally, the good stuff. He's the current version of The List.
