Rose’s comments from the Classics Without All the Class group.

Library Bag, maybe it's because I read it right around the same time I read 1984 but I didn't feel like this book made the impact on my I had thought it would after hearing about it from friends. It's a good story that made me question my ideas about humanity but I didn't care for the writing style and I finished feeling less than satisfied. Overall it was an okay book for me but not one that I'm planning on re-reading in the near future.

Hi! My name's Rose and I'm from Oregon. When I was 12 I told myself I was going to read "all" the classics... which at the time consisted of Shakespeare, Louisa May Alcott and Jane Austen... and I completely failed. Over the years I've found that I love Shakespeare when it's preformed on stage, that "Little Women" was a lovely story and that a page and a half into "Sense and Sensibility" the sensible thing for me to do was stop.

I'm hopeful that this group will help me find classics that I want to read and that I will love!

I love books that suck me into them and keep me in their world until the very last page (finishing a book at 2am happens more than I'd like to admit! hehe). Romance and fantasy are where I usually find my favorites but science-fiction, historical-fiction and adventure books will also be found in my book case.

As for a superpower...I'd love to stop time so I could read all day long! (haha, I already do that!)
