Danielle The Book Huntress ’s comments from the Classics for Beginners group.

Welcome, Mirela, Mark, and Dianne.

I've found that adding classics to my reading has been refreshing for me.

Hugh (The other Hugh) wrote: "Lady Danielle "The Book Huntress" wrote: "I second Annabel Lee."

A strangely sad and beautiufl poem from the master of the macabre and horrible frightening things."

I totally agree!

Welcome, Dana!

That's great, Miss.terri.

I finished it a few days ago. I'm glad you're going to start today, Kwesi.

Martha, that book sounds interesting!

It's pretty dumb that people would throw cigarettes out the window in a drought. But, they do. Sigh!

Very true, Desiree!

Miss.terri, I am woefully underread in Austen. I plan to remedy this.

Good list, Hugh. I have read some of these, and some I plan to read.

I feel like my life opened up to a new world when my mother got my sister and I our own library cards!

I think that's For Whom the Bell Tolls, Hugh.

Desiree, I have S&S on my reading list, but I don't think I'll get to it this year.

My goodness, that's scary, Jill. I hope your house and everyone around you is okay.

The same for your family, Miss.terri!

I have The Sun Also Rises in my collection. It is to be my first Hemingway attempt.

Me too, Megan!

Welcome, Lily and Charity.

I liked the writing, although the poetry/songs took some getting used to.

I enjoyed this one a lot. I'd love to see what everyone has to say about it!

Welcome, Hermione!
