Classics

[close] Welcome to our group! This group is for everyone. We have monthly reads, games and challenges, general discussions and a special corner for authors. I want this to be a fun and relaxed place for everyone. A place for readers to get together, discuss book and make friends. A positive atmosphere for bookworms. Even if you don't drink coffee, you are more than welcome to join!! :) This is a brand new group so we are still working on some stuff but please feel free to join us and invite your friends!!!

[close] This is a group for people who want to read old books and classics and then discuss them as a group. The mods choose themes each voting period (usually 4-8 weeks depending on the length of the current group selection) and the group will choose a book to read that fits the theme. Everyone is welcome who loves to read and talk about what they have read and take and give some tips for getting through those old classics sitting on your book shelf.

[close] In 2020, I'm hosting a year-long readathon where I - and hopefully you! - will be reading as many classics as possible. The #ClassicsCommunity is an Internet-based reading group and challenge for anyone who loves classics or wants to read more of them. You can set your own goals -- or take part in the baseline challenge to read at least 12 classics during the year -- such as 'read 3 Victorian classics' or 'read 25 classics during 2020' or 'read 5 Russian classics'. The number one aim is to have fun! We'll also be choosing our very own book club classics -- coming soon!
