Austen

[close] A club for everything classic. From Uncle Tom's Cabin to The Great Gatsby to Of Mice and Men to The Hobbit. ~We read a classic book once every two months. These books are chosen from a poll.

[close] Do you love Jane Austen, her novels and adaptations of her works? This group is for you. It's built around the Jane Austen Yearly Challenge. I've designed the challenge in 2015 and co-hosted it in the NBRC group ever since . I believe it's time to make it available for readers and movie lovers outside that group. If a year-long reading and watching challenge based on Jane Austen and the Regency era sounds appealing to you, join in. :) Or you can just look around and explore the JA resources I link to. Enjoy!

[close] Ladies who read various books sharing various recommendations and discussion.

You can expect to find intelligent discussions associated with literary periods and movements; major and minor authors and their works; and potential connections and relationships with other artistic movements and periods (e.g., music, visual arts, architecture, etc.).We encourage participants to bring their intellectual curiosity and a willingness to share their knowledge and engage in critical thinking and discussion. This group is intended to be a safe, comfortable, yet stimulating haven for those looking to learn more and share their love for some of the World’s great literature.
