Some of you may have noticed a new page on my site, called TBR.  If you’re unfamiliar with the acronym, TBR stands for “To Be Read”.  The list there is not indicative of what I prefer to read (as you can compare the list on my TBR list to the my reading lists on the far right sidebar), but instead is a bunch of classics mixed with some modern stuff and some fun stuff.

It’s intended to enhance and expand my reading tastes and my knowledge over the next five years.  Moonrat started this whole thing with her Project Fill-in-the-Gaps and you can join in on the fun, too!  If you dare, of course.

My TBR list has some flexibility, as I have “optional” books that will count towards my 75% that aren’t necessarily listed on the big list, such as what I’m currently reading, J.D. Salinger’s Franny and Zooey, in honor of the author’s recent death.

I honestly have no idea if I’ll manage to read 75% of this list or not, but I am hoping that I’ll have a better, deeper understanding of the classics now as opposed to when I was forced to read classics on my own in school.

Matter of fact, what about you?  It’s Poll Monday, and this week’s poll is located on the right hand side in the POLL.space!  Tell me, do you enjoy the classics more as assigned reading or leisure reading?
