Hi and welcome Elizabeth! You've come to the right group to read classics! I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself here! Happy reading!

[Brina]

Welcome Elizabeth. I couldn't agree more about your view of classics. I am rereading the books I read for school in this group and am enjoying them a lot. Hope you love this group.

[Alex]

For years now, I've been reading the classics that I had to read in school and didn't. The multiverse may or may not exist, but classic books will do until we find out.

[Pink]

Welcome Elizabeth, I completely agree about having to read and hating classics at school. It took me years to get into reading them again. I hope you find some more classics to enjoy with us :)

[Catherine]

Hello! I'm Catherine. I'm in Austin, though from the Pacific NW originally. In my mid-30s, and been a classics reader my whole life I think. My favorite book is Jane Eyre and I re-read it every year or so. I also love mystery stories, especially the Sherlock Holmes canon, and old school sci fi and fantasy. I'm not sure what all counts as "classic" but it looks like y'all discuss a wide range of books, which is awesome!

Hi and welcome Catherine! Glad you've joined us! Yes, we read an array of books here, a little something for everyone! I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself here! Happy reading!

[Brina]

Welcome Catherine. We do read a range of classics in this group so you've come to the right place. Per the monitors a classic can be any highly regarded book published until 1999. I also like mysteries although I prefer Hercule Poirot to Sherlock Holmes :)

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Hi and welcome to our new members: Raul, Hicham, Elizabeth, & Catherine. So glad to have more classic readers with us.

Welcome fellow Texan! I love Jane Eyre, too. There is a great variety to read here.

[Sarah]

Welcome to all of our new members!

[Pink]

Welcome Catherine, I agree that Jane Eyre and Sherlock are great classics. I'm glad you like the variety of our group reads, we try to have something to please everyone, old or new, long or short. I hope you find something you enjoy :)

[Michael]

Hey All.

My name's Michael. I'm 22 and I love reading the Classics everything about them just intrigues my curiosity, and I was told by a few professors that one should read the classics first to open up ones own mind. Don't get me wrong. I love alot of modern books. but I just haven't ever even tried getting into the classics until a few months ago and so far I must say that I am highly impressed. Love the writing, and it's just so neat how creative the people were way back then to have come up with such amazing stories!

Sincerely. Michael E. Blakely

[Emerson]

Hello Michael, welcome, love your "we the north" tag!
I agree, nothing has opened my mind as some classics. Classics have such wonderful stories, humor and peculiar ways to get to where they're aiming, and the writing always brings me somewhere else!

[Pink]

Welcome Michael, I'm glad you've got into reading classics, there are so many greats to choose from. They're now my main source of reading, as there's a lot to get through, but I like to mix it up with some newer fiction too. I hope you find something to join us with :)

[Michael]

I know this is a Thread for Introductions.. But I figure I could probably ask a question relating to our group's genre. Has anyone read the "I - Robot series" by Isaac Asimov? If so. How are they and are they worth the read?

Sincerely, Michael E. Blakely

Thank you! Raptors #1 lol. And yeah I agree. Before I only read thrillers, Crime, Drama, ETC. But once I read a few, my mind just opened write up. It's like I can just feel their Artistic creativity!...

Oh how I wish I could just have a nice chat with all those great minds lol :).

Sincerely, Michael E. Blakely

[Pink]

Michael, sorry I haven't even read the first I robot book, so I can't help you. For I minute I thought I had read it, but that was I am legend, which I can recommend!

Well now I'm curious about "I am legend" lol.
How is it? Worth the read?

[Hannah]

Hello all! I'm Hannah, and I've always had a particular interest in classic literature. I'm excited to be able to discuss with other people who understand my love of old books. I think this group will be extremely helpful since aimlessly searching for my next book to read usually ends in frustration.

[Pink]

Michael, I liked it and found it worth a read. Have you seen the film version with Will Smith? It's quite different but I enjoyed it too.

[Pink]

Welcome Tammie, Erwin and Hannah! I'm glad you've joined and hope you find some favourite classics with us :)

[Brina]

Welcome Hannah. We read four diverse books a month here so you've come to the right place. I hope you enjoy reading and discussing the books in this group.

I prefer the earlier film version "The Omega Man" with Charlton Heston - still has plot differences, but very similar "feel" to the book
