Modern Classics Challenge (Post-1900)

I’ve discovered a whole other section of literature that I’ve been neglecting, so it’s only fitting that I set up a new challenge to make sure I don’t miss out!

The Modern Classics Challenge will cover roughly the first half of the 20th Century (give or take a few years) and will include such greats as D. H. Lawrence, Gaston Leroux, John Steinbeck and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Again, the aim will be to read one a month (I don’t want to overwhelm myself!).

So, I have a lot of excellent reading coming!
