A Tale of Two Cities

Third classic off the list! And this definitely went by quicker than the last two. I just finished A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. Quite fitting that I was reading it while I moved to London.

My plan is to read 10 classics before my 30th, which would roughly average about 1/month. Well it’s May—almost June—and I’m a bit behind. After I read Anna Karenina, I started A Tale of Two Cities immediately. The plan is to read a classic, and then some easy book (beach read, crime, ect). But I powered through and immediately went to my 3rd classic since I’m bit behind.

The book was pretty good. I had been meaning to read it for quite some time now. Somehow I never read it in high school or college. I couldn’t put it down towards the end, and it definitely made me want to read more about the French Revolution. I like historical novels that want me to refresh my history knowledge that’s been fading for the last decade.

I’m not sure what my next classic will be (maybe another “short” one). But I will be re-reading all the Harry Potter books before the big day in July!

  1. Have you read "Pride & Prejudice?" I read that a couple of summers ago and really liked it! Plus you can watch the movie after :)
