Classics Club List #2

I completed my first Classics Club list in April 2018 – 7 months behind schedule.

Part of the reason for the time lag was my impatience to start CC List #2 before I had finished the first!

CC List #2 is a healthy mix of Australian, Asian, non-fiction, biographies of classic authors as well as the usual European & American contenders.
