Several of you have listed categories you hope will be included in next year's challenge. Feel free to make adjustments to those lists (keeping the total at 12) until November 10, when I'll start tabulating the votes.

As I noted before, I love Bonnie's recent suggestions  (a book you'd be proud to read in public, and one you'd be ashamed to read in front of others), so I'm dropping two categories I'd listed earlier so I can include Bonnie's ideas.

I'm dropping "made into film" and "literary award" from my original choices.

I know it sounds complicated (I think I thrive on this type of thing!), but continue posting (and changing your lists, if desired). I'll post a preliminary top 12 list in about a week.

(Post your lists in the earlier thread about the 2014--not 2013--Classics Challenge.)
