I am a mom, and I just feel like I missed so much reading wise when I was younger.<3

Hey Rachel! I know what you mean! I'm 37 and getting back into reading, or rather, for the first time in my life I really want to read. On my own, and to learn. Lol!

Glad you're part of this team!

Thank you<3

Hi Rachel, Hi John

Well I reckon reading at an older age has far more benefits especially with classics, since it seems that the older generation can capture emotions of the character far better than us. (No offense)

I've never experienced 'love' or betrayal as such, so I wouldn't be able to relate as well. With some books I know I'll have to return to when I'm older anyway...

Are u really calling me old?!!

Lol I don't think u can understand depth of emotion as u can when ur older:)

Old? Never, you know how to use a computer, so clearly you're one of those hip older (not old) people. :)

No us teenagers can't comprehend emotion. We're notoriously materialistic and are far too involved in dressing up, or texting to ever really experience the world. :P But maybe, perhaps when we are older...

Funny...think I am going to love this group:) welcome red I have mainly Jane Autsen, I look forward to the discussions

Welcome to all the new members! We're glad to have you here.

Hello, I'm Richard, 36, from Lancashire originally but currently residing in the Herts/Essex borders while I study IT. Hobbies include classical music, films, Apple Mac computers, tennis, chess, TV and radio documentaries, and history. I've read a small number of classics but am a bit disappointed in myself that I haven't fit in the time to read a lot more. Now reading Little Women and Ray Bradbury's Martian Chronicles, and recent reads include Heart of Darkness, Tom Sawyer and Gulliver's Travels. I read voraciously as a child and at last, after many years of unhappy indolence, am regaining the ability to concentrate for long periods and read several chapters in one sitting.

Welcome, Richard!

Welcome, Michael! There are some different interpretations on classic on this group and it's encouraged. So if you think it's a classic, that's fine!

Hi I am Dawn and I have floated around this group for awhile.

I used to read quite a lot of classic books years ago but I have rather gotten out of the habit and frankly at times I miss it. SO here I am looking for new books or maybe to reread other but mostly to stay motivated.

Welcome, Dawn!

Hi, I'm Rachel :) I'm a fan of Medieval themed literature, Christian fiction, and of course classics like the lion the witch and the wardrobe, The wizard of Oz, and The Hobbit.

Hello! I'm from Seattle... Rain goes great with staying indoors with a good book :) I've worked for the library for over ten years and love to read. I now work as a vet assistant at an animal hospital. Looking forward to reading great classics with all of ya!

Welcome, Rachel and January!

Hello! My name's Anna and I live in London. One of my pleasures in life is reading.

Hello all! I'm Florencia and I'm from Argentina. I've recently finished law school so now I have more time for the books that I really like! I've been reading classics for quite some time, and I'm here to keep on learning :) Right now, I'm reading The Great Gatsby, The Brothers Karamazov (loving it) and The Decameron.

Hello everyone,, I am quite new here and enjoying reading what everyone has read.. I have just finished To The Lighthouse and loved it,, recently read The Great Gatsby and have lots more classics lined up and ready to go..

Welcome, Florencia!

Welcome, Tracy and Photo Eclectic!

Hello,

My name is Sameh, could anyone tell me about Guliver's travells! ?

Welcome, Sameh and Diane.

hello everyone. I am hoping to (already am) catch up on the classics I missed when I was younger because I wasted my time (well, not really wasted cos I had a ball) drinking and eating and watching movies and TV.
I think I've done all the 'standards' I suppose you could say...but now I want to diversify !
MAKE IT SO ! (see a TV reference already!)

Welcome, Esseffsee!

Hi, my name is Maureen, and I'm from Walla Walla, Washington. I'm an English major, so not new to classics, but love this excuse to read more of them! Our daughter lives in Belgium, which has really broadened our horizons, so I enjoy expanding my reading beyond US authors. This sounds like a marvelous group.

Welcome, Maureen!

Hi, I'm Kathy from Idaho, USA.

I live just outside a small rural town in southwest Idaho. Besides loving to read, I like to sew and ride my bikes. My husband & I like to travel a little, but he is a farmer so at certain times we are really busy at the farm. I am a retired high school mathematics teacher. So I still love to work with math too.

Welcome, Kathy!

Thanks, glad to be here.

Hi Kathy, I used to want to be a maths teacher. :)

Welcome Joy. :)

Welcome, Joy!

Hey everybody, I'm Bas from the Netherlands. I read quite a lot when I was younger. As I found thrillers to become somewhat predictable I kind of lost interest. Now I intend to pick it up and hope to primarily read and discuss books of high quality and lasting importance, books I would refer to as 'classic' so to speak. At the moment I'm reading the diary of Anne Frank.

Welcome, Bas!

Hey Bas :D

Hi Everyone,

My name is Daren and i'm from California in the United States. I have always loved the classics, my favorites being Dumas and Dickens. I look forward to reading the books as well as learning new info from the group!

Welcome, Daren.

Hi!, My name is Tracy Herrera. I am a crazy by the books and my first experiences in this hobbie was with the classics, for this reason, I like it very much!, funny as will sound, I have many classics that I could not read yet, so I want join to this group, for read an discuss... I am very excitement! Greetings!

Hello and welcome Tracy!!

Hi, I'm Lisa from the UK. I am not a newbie to classics but I haven't read anywhere near as many as I would like to have done. My favourite is Wuthering Heights, I adore that book! I have recently bought a number of classics in the Penguin English Library editions and I can't wait to get started on them. I am looking forward to reading and discussing books with you all!

G'day, folks, I'm Sally from South Australia, I'm 35 years old and a lifelong bookworm. I joined your group because my life's mission (well, one of them) is to read my way through the classics, and I noticed discussions here about a lot of the books I've read or want to read. I look forward to chatting to all of you :-)

Hello everyone,

I'm Lily, new to this club but I can assure you that I very much share the passion of reading with you. I didn't really had the chance to catch up with classics since high school so I would like to read a book with you every month and discuss them. And of course to make friends. :)

Hi there!

I'm Jared, I'm 20 years old and live in Glasgow, and I've just recently started using this site. I've only really started reading voraciously in the last few years, and I predominately read books which would fall into the category of "Classic". So yeah, I figured this would be the best group to join, and look forward to the monthly reads!

Hi guys,
I'm Nikitha, 21 and from India. I actually love classics, but of late I have been reading too many contemporary and YA books and haven’t bothered to read any good classics. So, I thought this group would compel me to go back to them. So, here I am!! To read, and have fun in between :)

Hi!

My name is Apollonia, like everyone here I love the classics :) I'm not new to them, as I've always read them.

Sense and Sensibility was my first classic when I was nine years old :)

I'm very happy to join and can't wait to begin reading!

Hellooooooo ! I am Esseffsee and I am a determined classic bagger ! I never even began reading classics until I was 20, Jane Ayer, and then I was hooked. Now at the ripe old age of o_O I am looking to engage with some of the more diverse classics I may have missed.
