message 1912: by Daphne (new)

Daphne (thebookishfilmfanatic) Hello! My name is Daphne and I'm from The Netherlands. I usually spend my days studying, playing the piano and watching movies. Naturally, I also love reading books, particularly fantasy, science fiction, mystery, detective, historical and... classics. I haven't read a lot of classics in my life, which is why I joined this book club. I'm really looking forward to reading along with you.

Welcome, Daphne! Glad you have found us. I'm sure that you will have a great time here and find interesting classics definitely worth reading. Maybe you'll even join some group discussions about them. It's always great to see differing opinions. The new group reads have just started so there's still time to join them. :)

Kerstin Hi, I'm Kerstin from Kansas. I'm married with two grown sons. I've always been an avid reader. I do love to read classic literature, but I don't read nearly enough of it! So I figured getting inspired on a regular basis could only help :)

message 1930: by Carolien (new)

Carolien (carolien_s) | 894 comments Hi, I'm Carolien from Johannesburg, South Africa. I work in the banking/insurance industry and is busy studying for a law degree. I have two daughters of 6 and 8. I have always read a lot, but there seems to be a lot of gaps in terms of the classics and I find that being able to read the books in groups such as this one (especially with such a wide choice) makes it a lot easier for me.
