I haven't done a classic this year. I normally set a target to do two but Don Quixote a couple of years ago put me off. I'm feeling an Austen I haven't read maybe, and recommendations? I've done Emma, Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility.

I recommend resisting the feeling.

A reread (although I first read it at least 10 ten years ago) as I'm enjoying the current BBC adaptation so much. A childish thing struck me though, if daemons are literally animals, as is suggested, what are their 'toilet habits'? In Lyra's world they must use a lot of paper towels mopping up 'little accidents'. More seriously, a lovely read.
