MomsMyJob's "Madison Public Library Readable Fiction Classics"

Add to my lists | Print this list

‘Readable’ and ‘classic’ can mean different things to different people. To avoid confusion, Madison Public Library’s librarians have defined what we mean by them. A ‘classic’ is a work of enduring interest and appeal in which successive generations can find truths that will not age. ‘Readable’ includes those classics whose appeal is immediately apparent and continues throughout.
