Lisa’s comments from the Should have read classics group.

I was wondering if you had a hard time reading the first and last parts of the book due to the grammar and punctuation?

I finished this yesterday and it left me rather sad. It is a good book, I have never seen the movie "Charlie", so I can't compare that. It is a book that at certain parts it was hard to read. Rather reminded me of the movie "Awakenings". Can't wait to discuss this with others.

This is the children's group read for July and August, since this time of year seems to just get crazy!

Heidi it is!

So, which of the next nominations are we going to pick? How about Black Beauty or Heidi?

Excellent! Welcome to the group and I hope that you enjoy the book!

This is the nominated group read for July. Please remember spoiler alerts during the early part of the discussion. Happy reading!

Thank you, then August would work fine.

Alright, let's just do Flowers for July and Cholera in August. That is easy to figure out. Although, isn't Cholera a rather long book? If so, maybe we should read it in two months. Thanks Emily and Sorento for nominating!

I feel for Fanny right now. It would be hard to be shuffled around to relatives like a piece of furniture. It is nice that Edmund has taken on the role of confidant, once she lost her brother, but the moral superiority of the adults is rather hard to take.

☯Emily has reviews on Booklikes wrote: "I will taking a 5 day course in a month at Cornell University. We will be discussing Mansfield Park and Persuasion. Can't wait for it to start."

Sounds like fun! I can't wait to here your insights!

Hello and welcome to the group Kelli! I hope that you enjoy the group and it sounds like you are very busy! Happy reading!

You can do this one.

Everyman- I'm sorry about accidentally deleting our comments above, I need to remember that the delete button is below the comment, not above.

It is time for some nominations for the July group read. The nominating period will run until June 8th. Please no more than two nominations per person and the vote will from June 9th-June 13th. That should give most people enough time to pick up the book by July 1st. Thanks!

This is the children's read for June. Please remember spoiler alerts until the middle of the month and happy reading!

Alright, that sounds like a winner for June. We can decide on the other ones during the month. Thanks everyone!

Wonderful nominations. The group read The Wind in the Willows already, but the others sound great.

Thanks for the discussion everyone, this time of the year is nuts for me. Hilary, generally by about the middle of the month, I figure in depth discussion is fine. If you are reading it, then you should be close to being done at that point and if not, then you can use the spoiler link under the (some html is ok).

Any nominations for June? Sorry to be so late, this time of the year gets crazy for me.
