[Vicki]

Greetings, all. Just joined, having heard about the group in comments on A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, which I try to read every Christmas time. This looks like an interesting group.

[Odette]

Hello everyone, my name is Odette and I am from Australia. I joined this group a while back and have been following discussions on various books. I would like to read more classics next year, catching up with those that I have not read previously. I am looking forward to participating in the 2018 Classics Bingo, which looks really good. Now will have to do some planning for this!

[Sherri]

Hello,
I saw I have a few of the same novels on my own tbr list, and this looks like a wonderful place to join. Thank you for allowing me to join. I have already added a couple more from your list of books to mine. I look forward to be reading more classics. Also, I checked out some of the "personal challenges" I hope I may borrow some of the ideas for my own challenges to keep me focus for 2018. :)

[Pink]

Welcome to the group Sherri, I'm glad you like the look of it. Personal challenges are great for getting ideas, that happens a lot here, so borrow away!

[Odette]

Thank you all for such a warm welcome. I am looking forward to participating in this group and reading more classics!

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Hi and welcome Erin! And rectify it you will! Our group really is encouraging when it comes to reading the classics! I know you'll enjoy yourself here! Happy reading!

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Welcome to the group Erin. Glad that you have joined us and are ready to read classics with us.

[Petra]

Hi everyone! I'm Petra and an enjoyer of Classic novels. I'm looking forward to joining you in some great reads.

I have an eclectic taste in books. I bounce all over as to what I read, both fiction & non-fiction. I'm currently about to finish Proust's work, Remembrance of Things Past Volumes 1-3 Box Set.

Besides reading, I enjoy cooking & baking, am learning tai-chi, am a short distance (5K) runner and enjoy working on crosswords, Sudoku and anagram puzzles.

[Pink]

Welcome Erin, I'm glad you've joined us and look forward to getting to know you :)

Hi Petra, has Ulysses encouraged you over?! In for another year of Joyce!

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Petra welcome to the group! I look forward to reading with you.

[Pillsonista]

Hi everybody! My name is Sara, and I’m from Sacramento, CA.

I’m a lifelong reader from a family of lifelong readers. In our house, books are considered a birthright, and I was always encouraged to read beyond what I was assigned in school. I’ve never been particularly interested in or felt constrained by “genre”, so my taste is basically all over the place. I’ve had a Goodreads account for some time, but only recently began to cultivate it.

I was just looking for a group to discuss the books I love, and this looks like a fantastic place to start.

Hi Sara! Fancy meeting you here! Welcome! Enjoy and happy reading! 😊

[Petra]

Hi Sara! I just joined myself. Welcome!


Thanks for all the welcomes!
Pink, I'm not sure if I'm up to another reading of Ulysses. It's tempting but after Proust I may want to wallow in easier reads for awhile. ....but a discussion of Ulysses is always a good thing to join in on. :D

[Pink]

Welcome to the group Sara, I hope you enjoy it here :)

Petra, I feel the same way!

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

So nice that you have joined us Sara; welcome to the group.

[Arunima]

Hi everyone! I am Arunima, 27 years old, from India.

I have been a book lover since childhood. I loved reading classics, fantasy books(those with fairies, gnomes, and dwarfs) when I was young. Shifted my focus to non-fiction, motivational, fictional books as I grew up. Some of my favorite books are Peony, The Monk who sold his Ferrari, The Godfather, The Memoirs of a Geisha.I also read Assamese books (my first language).

I am a practicing physician; not married, in a relationship. I am excited to join this group and learn more about good classics and hope to keep my favorite hobby alive!

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Welcome to the group Arunima -- so glad that you have joined us and are ready to read classics with us.

[Candi]

Hello! My name is Candi and I have been an active member of Goodreads for the past few years. I love to read a number of genres, including classics, historical fiction, literary fiction and some contemporary fiction. I have sampled and enjoyed a bit of fantasy and science fiction along the way as well. I find that I have been neglecting some of the classics I have been meaning to read of late, so I thought this group looked to provide some great motivation to rectify that situation! I see a few friends here and love to meet new ones. I enjoy reading friend reviews, chatting about books and life in general, adding to my endless TBR, and writing my own reviews.

Besides reading, I keep busy with my 2 very active teenagers, have become involved with volunteer activities at my local library, enjoy hiking, attending concerts, and love spending time with friends and family.

I'm happy to be here, Sara! I think the challenges will give me a push to increase my classic reading next year. I have so many unread books on my shelf at home that I would like to work on.

[Liz]

Hi, I'm Liz and I've just joined the group. I live in Scotland with a great view of hills and sea but next year, instead of gazing out of the window, I want to have my nose in a book...so I want to try and read the two books a month along with you all...
