Classics

[close] Welcome to the book club for people with opinions!! We are proud to announce that this is Goodreads’ VERY FIRST GROUP where peace was never an option. We read everything. Literary classics. Pulitzer winners. BookTok romances. Fantasy epics. Weird little books with 300 ratings. No book is too highbrow; no book is too trashy. If it’s worth reading, it’s worth arguing about. This is a discussion-first group. We are here to debate themes, symbols, writing quality, characters, plot holes, author choices, reviews, ratings, and occasionally each other. Strong opinions are encouraged. You think the blue curtains symbolize grief? Defend it. You think the author accidentally wrote the worst protagonist in modern literature? Present your evidence. You gave a beloved classic one star? Explain yourself. If you like writing 5-star reviews that read like a thesis statement, or 1-star reviews that read like a hate letter, you’re home. Go into the group threads, go onto other members' profiles, and start a debate. If someone's take is weak, tell them. The goal isn’t to agree. The goal is to think harder, read closer, and have more interesting conversations than “5 stars, loved it.” Bring receipts.

[close] But once a woman stole the initiative, plundered the perquisites and took the lead, what happened to the globe? The fabric cracked [Daphne du Maurier] We explore books that Virago has recognized as a particularly valuable voice in women's literature. The publisher gathered them in the collection Virago Modern Classics. Of course, we read those titles also from different publishers ("green spines" are rather hard to find). Virago is a feminist publishing company founded in 1973 in the UK, "the most vigorous, stylish and successful British publisher of women's literature, it is the largest women's imprint in the world". The full collection (over 700 titles) is here --> https://www.virago.co.uk/imprint/lbbg/virago/page/virago-modern-classic-collection/
