Readings in Retirement: Classics Old and New Read for Pleasure - Page 2

As usual, I'm using the term "Classic" in its broadest possible sense: 1) Literary Merit; 2) cultural diversity and importance; 3) representation of era, genre, or style; and 4) sustained popularity. The list also is about what I take pleasure in reading; others will perhaps have differing opinions.
