Steve Donoghue's Penguin Classics Tag

Описание: Back in April 2020, the legendary Steve Donoghue created the Penguin Classics tag with six prompts connected to the Penguin Classics series. Kristin of Enter the Book put out her clothbound version recently and tagged me. I only possess one book in the Penguin Classics series (Steve Donoghue, when he did the tag had 610!) but that doesn't stop me from tackling the tag.

1 Penguin Classics are the best reprint volumes in the whole world! How many do you currently own?

2 Penguins evolved roughly 70 million years ago - what’s your history with Penguin Classics?

3 The Penguin Classic logo is, of course, a penguin, the world’s most famous flightless bird. What’s a classic that just didn’t take flight for you?

4 The Emperor Penguin is the most recognizable species, but the Adelie is everybody’s favorite - what’s your favorite Penguin Classic?

5 Penguin Classics began in 1946 with EV Rieu’s translation of the Odyssey. What’s your favorite book from 1946, or the ‘40s in general?

6 Penguin Classics tries to enshrine the classics of literature - name some books you’d like to see enshrined!
