Literature

[close] Discover and share your discovery of the most recently published literary fiction. If you love reading novels before anyone else decides they are good or bad; if you love ARCs; if you love hearing about the latest-published novels by authors you know, and by authors you never heard of, then you'll probably like it here. Our definition of "literary fiction" is broad.

[close] A place for those who walk the green forests of Middle Earth, cross the pale sands of Arrakis, sail the blue waters of Earthsea, slip among the shadows of Amber, climb the icy mountains of Narnia, fly the skies of Pern, leap across the red plains of Barsoom, ascend the Dragonmount, pilot a starship to new worlds, fight in power suits, ride dragons, combat hostile aliens, chat with artificial lifeforms, or regularly visit the future, past, enchanted realms, or alternate dimensions. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Need some motivation?

[close] The world is made up of two kinds of people: first, those who love classics, and second, those who have not yet read a classic. Be bold and join us as we tackle reading and discussing the classics. New Classics, Old Classics, Long and Short Classics, and some that exhibit potential to become a classic. If you are part of the second group of people, the classic you can love for a lifetime is just pages away. Here at "Catching up on the Classics," we primarily focus on works written in English, but don't neglect quality translations of classics that were written in other languages. Here you will find members from around the world who are interested and supportive about reading traditional classics, so don’t delay. Join today.
