So when I decided to participate in the Back to the Classics Challenge, one of the categories was “an author you’ve never read before,” and I thought this would be an opportune time to try out Mr. But then everyone who read it thought it was really good. I looked at the description for it and wasn’t interested in it enough to commit the needed time to it, so I skipped that one as well.

Then last year his book No Name was chosen as one of the books for Carrie’s Reading to Know Book Club. I thought, “How can this be a classic if I have never heard of it?” 😳 I read the description, but it didn’t sound all that interesting. When I first started listening to audiobooks, I’d scroll through the listing of classics, and his The Woman In White would come up often. I had never heard of Wilkie Collins until a few years ago.
