January Classic

I'm back to work at the library this week, which of course means that I go home after most shifts with books in my bag. I picked up The Portable Chekhov today. It's definitely not the 13 volume Chekhov that Francine Prose recommended, but it's a start. I'm looking forward to it. It's my January Classic actually: I've decided to read one 19th century book per month this year, just to keep up my credentials.
