Welcome to the group BAM, I think you'll find lots of like minded out of control bibliophiles here!

Hey Bam! Glad to see you here! Looks like you're still reading like crazy -- Yea!! I think you'll enjoy this group and maybe you can make some recommendations to us too :)

[Leslie]

Hi all - I'm Leslie and I joined because although I thought I had read a lot of classics (my undergrad degree is in English Literature), I haven't read many that are listed here. I love reading and thought joining this group would inspire me to discover new (to me) classics and to have a place to talk about books. My in-person book club is great for getting together, chatting and drinking prosecco, but we don't really talk about the books.

I live in Vancouver, Canada with my English cocker spaniel Pippa. Aside from reading, I enjoy travel, movies and wine. I spend a lot of time walking (thanks to Pippa).

If asked to name my favourite book, author or movie, I can never give just one answer. So here are a few authors I've re-read many times (and will probably keep re-reading): Jane Austen, JRR Tolkien, Arthur Conan Doyle (primarily Sherlock Holmes), the Brontes. Not a big fan of George Eliot - but I haven't read any of her novels since university, so my view might have changed.

Cheers!

[Rosemarie]

Hi, Leslie. Welcome to the group from a fellow Canadian. I live in Toronto and love travelling, as well as reading the classics of course.

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Welcome to the group Leslie. So glad that you have joined us. I look forward to discussing classics with you here.

Hi Leslie, welcome to the group. I hope you enjoy it here :)

[MissFede]

Hi everyone, I just joined the group! :D

I am Fred from London and I am super excited to start reading classics with you all. I don't have many book lover friends in my life (how sad...I know) so most of the time I find myself wanting to chat about books I read and have no one around that knows what I am talking about. That's why I decided to join your group. Your reading choices look so very interesting!
Have you all a good day! :)

[Rosemarie]

Hi, Fred. Welcome to the group. I joined this group last fall because the monthly reads had so many great books that I wanted to read, and I have read a few since then. It is so much fun to talk about books with people who actually enjoy the classics.

Hi Fred and welcome to the group.

[ZJ]

Hi! I'm ZJ, and I'll be heading off to college in a few months! My favorite book is To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis, and I enjoy most genres! I have a special affinity for the classics, but unfortunately haven't been able to find the time to find any new books recently. I'm excited to read with you all! :)

[Pink]

Welcome to the group ZJ :)

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

ZJ, so glad that you have joined us. Connie Willis is one of my favorite authors. I look forward to discussing classics with you.

[Clio]

Welcome ZJ! To Say Nothing of the Dog is one of my favorite books too!

[Terris]

Welcome, ZJ! I have been trying to get to To Say Nothing of the Dog for the longest time! Since it's your favorite you've inspired me to move it up on the list. Thanks! And enjoy this group :)

[Sofiya]

Hi I'm Sofiya. I'll finish college this year and I love to read and I write poems which are not too good. I'm really fond of Jane Austen books

Welcome to the group. We are reading Persuasion now, come and join the discussion.

[Pink]

Welcome to the group Sofiya, we have quite a few Austen fans here, so you'll be in good company :)

[Kait]

Hi I'm Kait. I'm a uni student studying Public Policy from Australia. My favourite book has to be The Secret History by Donna Tartt. I read most genres but I can't say I'm the biggest romance fan. I'm trying to read more classics and world fiction.

[Pink]

Welcome to the group Kait, I really enjoyed The Secret History too. I look forward to discussing some classic books with you :)

[Newly]

5 minutes ago I was on the fence about reading To Say Nothing of the Dog. I started 3 men in a boat yesterday. so I'll be reading that in the near future.

[Emmy]

Hello!

My name is Emmy and I'm from Ohio. I used to be super into the classics as a student, but sort of slipped out of the habit of reading them once I graduated from college. I'm really looking forward to discussing some oldies-but-goodies with y'all :)

In addition to classics, I enjoy graphic novels, horror, non-fiction (mostly science), and magical realism. I'm a librarian with experience moderating book clubs, and a life-long bookworm! My other hobbies include anime, video-games, hand-writing letters, and houseplants.

[Pink]

Welcome to the group Emmy :)

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Hi Emmy and welcome to the group. So nice to have another bookworm join us.

[RJ - Slayer of Trolls]

Hi everyone, Randy from southern California here. I found your group and I really like your bookshelves so I thought I'd join. I like all kinds of books and try to read several at a time to keep myself from falling into the dreaded "reading slump." I look forward to meeting all of you and talking about books.

[Leslie]

Welcome Randy!

Yes, welcome Randy. Time Enough at Last is my favourite Twilight Zone episode too! Such a sad episode though. His wife is so mean! And if he just started talking to me in the bank about David Copperfield, I think the people behind me would start getting a little ticked because I would join him!

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Hi Randy and welcome to the group. So glad that you liked the bookshelves. I hope to discuss books with you here.

Hi All, Brian here. Love classics, sci-fi and fantasy, among other things. Currently reading The mysterious island - Jules Verne. Happy reading!
