Back to the Classics 2013 Wrap-up

I have finished Back to the Classics challenge! I've completed not only the required categories, but also all the optional ones, which means I've earned 3 entries. Sometimes I entered a book for a category and then changed it, because I read something more suitable and it'd be a shame not to have it in the final list, so sometimes I even have two books linked in some of the categories. However, there is only one book left in each category in the final list: 

The Required Categories:

1. A 19th Century Classic: The Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens
2. A 20th Century Classic: Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
3. A Pre-18th or 18th Century Classic: Dangerous Liaisons by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos 
4. A Classic that relates to the African-American Experience: Light in August by William Faulkner
5. A Classic Adventure: Mutiny on the Bounty by Charles Bernard Nordhoff and James Norman Hall
6. A Classic that prominently features an Animal: The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka

Optional Categories:

1. Re-read a Classic: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
2. A Russian Classic: The Seagull by Anton Chekhov
3. A Classic Non-Fiction title: Philosophical works by Kant and Rousseau
4. A Classic Children's/Young Adult title: The Reluctant Dragon by Kenneth Grahame
5. Classic Short Stories: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle

I've really enjoyed the challenge and am looking forward to signing for 2014 version!

P.S. I have signed up as Arenel @ Slightly Cultural, Most Thoughtful and Inevitably Irrelevant, but then linked my Google account and changed my blog name, so later entries are signed Ekaterina @ In My Book.
