The challenge is simple - read one "really old classic" between Nov. '09 and Feb. '10. What is a "really old classic"? We define it as anything written prior to 1600 AD. Both Rebecca and I have come to love many of these old stories and poems and we are excited to get others to read them as well.
Of course you can always read more than one. In fact, there's an optional second level to the challenge for those of you who want to take it on. And for extra credit you can read a modern retelling of one of the really old classics. See, there's something for everyone here!
