I really enjoyed that book. Have you seen the movie?

Good luck with that Hayley! What a wonderful goal!

Hello and welcome to the group Jenny! Most of the time I struggle to read classics in my native language so bravo to you! I hope that you enjoy the group!

Just a reminder that the group poll will end tomorrow. Make sure to vote on it!

I still hoping that it gets exciting, I'm still have yet to get to Milton, so I will give a little longer! I also only have 6 more days until my book is due at the library. I just can't give into temptation-
, , , ugh it is hard!:)

I hate to admit this,but I'm having a really hard time getting into this book. I feel like I'm slogging through it. Please tell me it gets a little more exciting! Feeling very guilty considering that I'm supposed to be moderating this one!

Hello and welcome to the group Ed! It is wonderful that you joined the group and I hope that you find some more wonderful classics to enjoy!

Hello and welcome to the group Ryan! I hope that you enjoy it! I'm sure that being an English major has helped in reading more than your fair share of classics!

I have just started this book and since I'm so behind forgive me, but I can't believe Margaret's father.

Zuzana thanks for the background info, I love to find out the back stories to authors lives.

Lisa, we read The Woman in White last year and it was such fun. It was lengthy but quite worth it! I hope you enjoy it!

Holy cow! SEven books-that is amazing!

Hello and welcome to the group Patricia! I came to Anne late(only last year), but I really enjoyed it! I'm glad that you joined and I hope that you enjoy the group!

Welcome to the group Hayley! I'm glad that you joined the group and I hope that you enjoy it! Amazing how parents get wiser as you age!

I have to agree with you Rena. It was so different from the movie and the entire story was a surprise.

I haven't got my copy yet, but we usually only have a set schedule if the book if really long(chunky). I'm guessing this one can just have a general topic, but please be mindful of spoilers for those of us still reading!

Hello and welcome to the group Ashley! I hope that you enjoy the group!

What does everyone think about the revenge aspect of this book? After just reading The Count of Monte Cristo, I was wondering if you thought the "monster" was justified in his revenge?

Anne wrote: "Hi, I'm planning to read this book. I have two friends who want to join and read it now or soon as well. Is this the thread to discuss the book with spoilers?"

Yes, but please try to warn people about spoilers before you post it! Wouldn't want to ruin the ending for some!

Hello and welcome to the group Brooke, Cristina, Michelle, and Izak! I hope that you enjoy the group and get to read some wonderful new classics!
