Classics Club 2

I am getting ahead of the game and launching my second Classics Club list! Of course, as exciting new classics cross my path, I will likely tweak this list multiple times, just like I did the last one. However, I can say that this is a list with no trepidation in it. Maybe it's a bit too skewed to just stuff I want to read (mostly the plethora of 19th century women writers who are suddenly back in print), but, well, it's not like that's a negative. I'm going to shoot for December 2022. That shouldn't be too tough.
