How long does the reading plan take?

Accepted Answer

About 12 months at 15 minutes a day. You set the pace, no deadlines.

I don't know where to start reading. Will this help?

Can I use Classicly to improve my English or my vocabulary?

Accepted Answer

Is Classicly really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. No paywall, no signup tricks. The books are public domain, the plan is free.

Twelve public-domain classics from Fitzgerald, Kafka, Austen, Dostoevsky, Wilde and others. The next book is revealed when you finish the current one.

Can I read on my Kindle?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each book comes with a free Kindle download link (EPUB/MOBI from Project Gutenberg) and an option to buy on Amazon.

Question 7

I've already read some of these books, do I have to read them again?
