Alissa | 3 comments Hi everyone! I am an avid reader and I've loved classics since I picked up To Kill a Mockingbird in grade 9. Some of my favorites are Dorian Gray and Wuthering Heights. I also love watching film adaptations of my favorite novels. My other favorite genres are fantasy, YA, historical fiction and travel. I am always looking for recommendations on a new book to devour :)


message 2504: by Brina (new)

Brina Welcome Alissa. You have come to the right place if you love classics. I just finished To Kill a Mockingbird and loved it as always. We are actually discussing it this month. I hope you enjoy discussing the books in this group.

Lavinia Zamfir (laviirawr) | 17 comments Hello guys, I'm Lavinia and I'm from Romania :) My favourite books are of course classics and I'm glad I've found this group so we can all discuss and read them.

I'm 18 years old and I study maths/computer science. Unfortunately for my highschool profile, I like literature/history/foreign languages way more.

I'm looking forward to making lots of reading buddies here, so feel free to add me and message me :)

K Hi, I'm Kate. I want to have read more of the classics and the Brothers Karamazov and the Master and Margarita are on my list. Since you guys have both of them coming up, I'll start reading them then. I already have copies. It's just more motivating sometimes to read with other people.

Lauren ❦ Carpe Librum ❦ | 4 comments Hi everyone, I'm Lauren. I recently got a Kindle, and since discovering many classic books are actually free on Amazon, I've decided it's time I branched out a little and read some of them. I started with The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, and quite enjoyed that. I've downloaded several classics including Frankenstein, The Picture of Dorian Gray and The Three Musketeers.
