Life is busier than fiction, so keep track of your to-do lists in this elegant and handy journal.

Journals with snarky quotes are more popular than ever, and this series takes it to a “classical” level. Well-known characters from classic literature—works by Kafka, Shakespeare, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jane Austen, Sophocles, Homer, and more—riff on general and seasonal themes humorously identified with the character’s viewpoints. The journals have foil-stamped flexi covers, rounded corners, 173 college-ruled pages, 18 pages of “cheeky” quotes sprinkled throughout, elastic closures, and ribbon markers. The cover quote is a riff on The Oedipus Plays by Sophocles.
