1. Read a work of Classic literature - one you've never read before.
The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins Thanks to Rebekah for the suggestion.
Extra challenge for this task: write a review of the book and post it on the board.

We tried to get some less-mentioned genres, so makes sense, but you can interpret them widely.
