I received an e-mail from Elaine Broeder at Penguin telling me about their new list of Classics as voted on by You. I thought it was a fun idea and would like to pass it on to all of you. Here are a few words from Penguin about the list, enjoy.
Last year, we compiled a list of the top ten essential Penguin Classics every person should read.
We thought our list was complete.
We were wrong.
You wrote in about the books we left off our list. Where was War and Peace? Don Quixote? On the Road?
So we’re creating a new list edited by you. What are your ten essential Penguin Classics?
Vote and then enter for a chance to win a Penguin Classics gift bag with an assortment of Deluxe Penguin Classics (official rules below) on the Essential Classics REDUX Survey.
It’s definitely the Year of the Penguin. I wrote about them, too. Here’s the link:

But picking my top ten favorites? There’s a challenge!
