Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

Ummm...hi. I joined your group because I love to read classics and because I think it's important to read them. My name is Mary, and I live in Georgia, USA. I have another book club that I actually started, but when we get together, it always disintegrates into alcohol and gossip. (Not that that's always a bad thing, but I do like to discuss a book.)Anywho, looking forward to these discussions! :)

Hello Mary and welcome aboard....Just to let you know that we are going to be reading To Kill a Mockingbird and The Hobbit starting on September 1st...You can read either one or both it doesn't matter what order you read them in.....We will be having discussions on these books, and the discussions will be easy to find on the groups page....hope you will join us and happy reading!!!

Hi Dana, welcome to the group and i'm glad you enjoyed books that only few did. We can't wait to discuss The Hobbit and To Kill a Mockinbird next month, stay tune and have fun reading! This is my latest and so far I fall in love to the book club, well, I joined a lot of local book clubs before and we still meet once a month to discuss books.

Hi Mary, welcome to the group! You just found the perfect group for you, why not join our next month's books, The Hobbit and To Kill a Mockingbird. (Don't worry, I also joined a book club recently and every time we met we usually gossip and eat for a day. The bad thing is, they, you know, never mind. Haha.)

Hi, I am Chris from Mass. I have tried to read classics pretty regularly but I am not a very fast reader. My favorite book so far was Les Miserables... This year I read A Tale of Two Cities and I am currently reading Atlas Shrugged... the next classic on my list is To Kill a Mocking Bird....

Welcome Chris...I hope that you will join in on our discussion on to kill a mockingbird....I tried to read Les Miserables a few years ago and I didn't quite understand it....maybe if I attempt it at some point I will get you to help me out!!!

Welcome Mary and Chris!

Hi, My name is Becky and I am from Calgary, Canada. I love to read classics and most recently I have read Atlas Shrugged, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, and Wuthering Heights. I am interested in all of the books that you have set to read so far and look forward to participating in your discussions!

Welcome Becky....Thank you for Joining our group!!! I am in Ontario Canada....I hope that you enjoy our group!!!

Hi my name is Jason. I live in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. I have a read a handful of classics. My favorite is the Count of Monte Cristo.

Hi Jason, welcome to the group! I also love Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers!

Hi Becky and Chris, welcome to the group and I can't wait to read your reviews and comments to the books you are planning to read soon. Have fun! Mmm, Atlas Shrugged is getting popular lately. I might add that on my list.

Hi, my name is Ivana and I'm from Croatia. I really love to read classics. I loved Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice,Crime and Punishment, Ana Karenina...

Welcome to the group Ivana, Crime and Punishment is one of my favorites too!

Hi my name is Tango and I'm from rural Australia. I've read some classics but there are many more I'd like to read!

Hi Kwesi - I think if you were taught The Iliad and The Odyssey as a book to be read from cover to cover then you were set to have an unpleasant experience. They are poems and should be read as that, you can't expect to take in all of the detail because some of the language is so dense. Try them again (Robert Fagles translations) and don't feel you have to read every word or even chapter! I think my sister in law may have read The Historian so I will try to borrow that - thanks for the recommendation.

Nicolle - Hi. Glad I can be of some use. I will do my best to be helpful should the occasion arise!

Welcome to the group everyone...I hope that you will join us in our group reads for September and October...We are reading the hobbit and to kill a mockingbird.

Anna Karenina and The Count of Monte Cristo are also my Favorite classics to read...I am currently reading Watership Down and I am in love with this book as well....

Hey all!!!
i find I'm the second one here from Egypt but I'm from Cairo not Alex. Classics are what spurred my passion for reading so i consider them my haven whenever I'm feeling down or alone. most of the stuff I've read are for women writers plus Charles Dickens, dunno why i did that though :)
I'm excited to join in with the discussions especially for To Kill a Mockingbird as i loooooove this book, and too bad i've missed out on Dracula, but well, it can't be helped. ^^

Welcome Namida....glad that you have joined us....I hope that you enjoy this group!!!!

Hi

My name is Lars and im from Sweden. I love to read all kinds of books and classics as well, havent read so many lately and i tend to read the same ones so its great to get suggestions on "new" books. My favourite classics so far are Jane Eyre, Emma, Peace and war, David Cooperfield. Never read To kill a mockingbird and im looking forward to that and it was a while ago i read Bilbo so its about time to read it again. Im glad that i found this group.

Welcome all new members. Make yourself at home...

I'm so very pleased to have found this reading group! I have had the notion to start reading the classics again and I have been steaming ahead with the likes of Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice and Wuthering Heights. I plan on participating in September's read. The last time I read To Kill a Mockingbird was when I was about 12 years old for a school book report. It's been on my list to read again for quite sometime and this will prove the perfect opportunity!

Currently I am living in Glasgow, Scotland via Buffalo, NY.

Hello Mrs H.
Glasgow is where my parents are from! I have been there, where abouts are you from??

Hi! I'm Suzie and I live near London in England. I read most genres and read quite a few classics in high school (I lived in South Africa at the time). Tess of the D'Urbervilles was a stand-out classic for me ...

Anyway, it's been a while since I actually read a classic, so I thought I'd join this group to get me back into it. I usually attempt to join the Seasonal Reading Challenge on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ every season, and for the Autumn/Fall season I have Frankenstein lined up as one of my books.

I see To Kill A Mockingbird is the next group read on here! One I remember reading in high school and enjoying. I will definitely re-read and join the discussion! :)

I am from Buffalo, New York, I immigrated here 3 1/2 years ago and married my husband who is a Glaswegian :)

Hiya Suzie, good to hear you join the Seasonal Reading Challenge.

Welcome to all the new members...wow our little group is growing very quickly...so glad to see!! I am glad that so many love to read the classics!!!

@Alex: Thanks for recommending, I might read it later in life but I'm not sure when since I never prioritize poems. Haha. Have fun reading.

Hi Mrs. H, welcome to the group and we can't wait to read your book report again. Kidding. Anyway, feel free to post anything on the thread given. Sweet reads.

Hi SuzieR, welcome to the group and this is the perfect place to read and share classics again. Don't be shy, feel free to post anything on the board.

Hi Tango, welcome to the group!

Hello Lars, welcome to the group. Jane Eyre and Emma are one of my favorites this year and the rest, they are still on my list, books that are to be explore in the near future. Read To Kill a Mockingbird next month!

Hi Namida, welcome to the group! I don't know if you like anime but I do. Haha. I have a friend here in groodreads from Australia who only reads classics and male authors only, how's that?! Haha. There are many books to come soon, so don't worry to read any of the books.

Hey ^^, a true classic newbie right here XD

Hi, I'm Sashana. I have a hard time reading and enjoying classics so hopefully this group can help me remedy this problem. I enjoy reading YA, PNR, UF, and Romace (all the subgenres). I'm a college freshman drowning in a sea of school work. And just you run of the mill average girl.

Hey Sashana, you sound exactly like me until I discovered classics!

Welcome Stephanie and Sashana....very glad that both of you are here....welcome pull up a chair a wonderful classic and enjoy the group!!!

Hi! I'm Sara. I am very excited to join this group. The only classics I have read were assignments in literature classes growing up. Reading them in a classroom setting ruined the books for me. I did not enjoy picking apart every paragraph that was written to discuss its meaning and symbolism. I think this is why I have mostly read suspense and horror novels.

It's great to see so many new members. Hello to everyone!

Hi Sara, Sashana and Stephanie, welcome to the group and sweet reads!

Wow...lot's of new and wonderful [email protected] never read classics either...it wasn't until the beginning of this year that I decided to expand my reading and I am hooked....I can't get enough of them!!!

I do hope that you will join us in our monthly book reads!!!!

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone :)

Hi Kwesi, Thanks for the warm welcome. As of yet I don't have any titles to recommend off the top of my head but maybe you do. The count of Monte Cristo would have to be a book I just remembered from reading another members post a true must read.

Hi, everyone, I am Terri from San Francisco, California in the USA. I have to confess that with having a college degree in English Literature and with plans to earn a master's and PhD in the subject, I am not exactly a beginner at all. In fact, I have been reading the classics since I was a gifted child. I joined this group because you are reading classics and I will gladly reread them with you. It is also exciting for me to see favorite classics through the fresh eyes of those reading them for the first time. I am delighted to be here with all of you.

hey Kwesi, yeah in fact i happen to be an anime fan :) but i'm a beginner as i'm a beginner in books, i love books as i love anime, and i use the same strategy actually, don't read for the sake of reading or being called a reader, when i read or watch anime, i read and watch what i like.

I agree! It started with a little idea from me with 1 member and in the past week or two has gone sky high!!

I know!!! Three cheers for us!!!!

Hello all. I'm Amy and I live in North Dakota in the US. I love to read but am deficient in the classics, though I have always wanted to read more. In high school most kids here have had to read certain books but I wasn't and have always felt left out. Looking forward to this!

Hi--I'm Vicki. I am starting to read the classics. I was thinking one or two a month would be a good goal, and this sounds like a good group. I am in Arizona, US.
