For my birthday, my best friend Janelle got me this amazing gift. It's a poster that shows the 100 Essential Novels: Collectors Edition. The cool thing about this poster, is that it doubles as a scratch off. Parts of the book covers on the poster are covered by this scratch off film, and once you read the book, you take a coin and scratch the film off, revealing the full cover design.
It's a really cool design for a reading challenge. I pinned the posted up on my bulletin board that I have in my room. Looking at all the titles, I was happy to see that I've already read a good handful of them over my life. Either because of school, or simple desires, a lot of these classics were ready to be revealed. So I grabbed a penny and started revealing the ones that have been completed to see what I had left to choose from in the future.
In the order of left to right, from top to bottom, the completed books so far are:
1. The Odyssey
2. The Iliad
3. Frankenstein
4. Moby Dick
5. The Metamorphosis
6. The Great Gatsby
7. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
8. The Catcher in the Rye
9. The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
As I read any books that happen to be on this poster, I'll update it and keep you in the loop! Thank you Janelle, for such an awesome gift. Perfect for a book lover like me!
