Hello! My name is Jenna and I am 18 and from the Midwest. I am still in high school. My IB Literature class and my love of philosophy has inspired me to read more classics. I have a nearly full shelf of classic novels that I have been stockpiling but now I actually have to read them! Hopefully this group kick starts my classics journey:)

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Hi and welcome to Krystal, Amber, & Jenna. So excited to read classics with all of you.

Welcome Jenna, I'm glad you've joined our group and hope we encourage you to get through your stockpile of books!

[Katrin]

Hello,

my name is Katrin and I live in Germany.
I love funny and gentle books, so I can't wait to read Persuasion again and see if I still like it as much as I did in my student days :)
Apart from reading I love sports and sewing.

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Welcome to the group Katrin. I hope to read and discuss Persuasion with you this next month.

[Rachel]

Hello everyone!

My name is Rachel, and I am currently studying in Philadelphia. I'm looking forward in discussing A Wizard of Earthsea with all of you!

[Lalitha]

Hello everyone, my name is Lalitha and I am from India. I like reading classics, both contemporary or older. Some of my favourite authors as Dostoevsky, Dickens, Hardy and Maugham. I have a few books to be read in April already so I look forward to the recommendations from May onwards and having healthy discussions as well.

[Lecterclarice]

Hi from Brisbane, Australia everyone!

So many books, so little time! I figure if I can't read them all I'd better start prioritising so I don't miss out on the really good stuff ;)

Looking forward to catching up on the classics with you all.

Cheers, LC

[Joel]

Hello,

I'm a 31-year-old lad from Anchorage, Alaska. I enjoy long walks on the beach and low car insurance.

I recently switched careers, going from police officer to state investigator with a focus on healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses, dentists, therapists, et cetera). I still work 1-2 patrol shifts per month for my police department as a weekend on-call.

I'm married to a beautiful woman whom I have known since 8th grade. She's a licensed professional counselor so, yes, she analyzes me. :-) We have two little boys together, and we're thinkin' about adopting a golden retriever.

I look forward to reading the classics as part of this group. I have read very few classics to date, and I'm sure I will enjoy the journey.

Welcome, Joel!

[Vernal]

Hello, my name is Vernal and I am fairly new to this group. I haven't read many classics but I definitely want to change that. I am looking forward to getting book recommendations as well as getting to know the awesome people in this group!

My favorite classic as of now is The Outsiders. I read it in a day! And I'm a slow reader.

What are your favorite classics?

[Pink]

Welcome to the group Joel and Vernal :)

I hadn't read many classics when I first joined this group, but that's definitely changed now!

I have lots of favourites, it's too hard to pick!

Hi and welcome Vernal! Happy to have you here! You'll definitely be reading more classics here and the threads are always here so that you can comment and discuss the books that we read! Members are always here to join in conversations, so no worries! Read at your own pace!

I love The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton! Did you ever read her other, less known classic, That Was Then, This Is Now? If not, you really must! It's so good!

I have many classics that are my favorite but my absolute most favorite on the planet is Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë.

Enjoy yourself and happy reading! 😊

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Hi Vernal and welcome to the group. I actually haven't yet read The Outsiders, but it is on my list now.

[Vernal]

Thank you everyone! Loretta, I was not aware about S.E. Hinton's other work, but That Was Then, This Is Now is now on my "to-read" list. Thank you for the recommendation!

[Sara, New School Classics]

Welcome, Vernal. I saw the movie of The Outsiders long ago but have never read the book. Added it to the TBR. Thanks for the reminder.

It's really a good book Sara. Much better than the movie, IMO.

[Rosemarie]

I agree, the book The Outsiders is better than the movie.

[Ron]

Hey I'm Ron. Been looking for an active group that reads classics. Main thing I enjoy when reading is thinking about and discussing characters, moments, and the book's world at large, and being able to relate those experiences written tens or hundreds of years ago in a completely different society to the present time & our own lives.

Outside of reading, I'm a web developer, and enjoy playing music & road biking.

Favorites oh man: gotta give it to Tale of Two Cities. Incredible book with so much densely packed material: you can give zoom in on any particular scene and there's so many interesting things to pick up on and close-read while also having in a macroscopic sense a captivating plot, an immersive dynamic setting and likable characters you end up gravitating towards and caring about.

Looking forward to meeting & reading with you guys!

Welcome Ron! Glad to have you with us as we read and discuss classics! I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself here! Happy reading! 😊

[Pink]

Welcome to the group Ron :)

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Welcome Ron, this looks like a good group for you. We read and discuss classics every month. Just finished up A Tale of Two Cities -- so feel free to add to those discussions.

[BAM doesn’t answer to her real name]

Howdy! I’m Bren, but most call me BAM, so I will answer to either. I’m an out of control bibliophile who reads several books at a time, usually at least four. I live in Louisville but have never been to the Derby. I’m a huge fan of classic literature. As soon as I bought my iPad I downloaded a ton of free stuff. When Borders when out of business I bought a clearance old skool Kobo for the 100 free classic novels preinstalled. I will read just about anything though and am always up for friend requests and book recommendations.
