Thank you! Seems so obvious now that it's pointed out but I never noticed it.

[Pink]

Sue, everything's easy once you know how! Ask away if you have any more questions :)

Welcome to the group Lori, I'm glad you've joined us :)

[Laurie]

Sue, I've read Travels with Charley and definitely enjoyed it. But I found out afterwards that his actual trip didn't happen just as the book relates. For instance, his wife joined him on part of the trip and they stayed in nice hotels. That doesn't make it into the book. I still think it is worth reading for the observations he makes.

[Lori]

Sue, I've read Travels With Charlie. The relationship between Steinbeck and Charlie is very special. If you're a dog lover the book will really hit home.

[Katherine]

Hi, I am Katherine, an avid reader turned writer to join the Great Conversation, through books, essays and blogs. Classics have so much to teach about the depths of the human condition, and they are usually a lot of fun!

For years I was so intimidated by War and Peace, until I read it, and discovered it was nothing more than a Russian soap-opera, a brilliant and delightful soap opera, with a hefty side order of philosophy.

Jane Austen's works never get old to re-read, nor does Jules Verne. Although I am trying to read through classics I have not had a chance to read yet, such as Agnes Grey, which was interesting, but in the sheer scope of literary quality the writing didn't compare anywhere near Jane Eyre.

Currently I am reading Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell, who is one of my favorite classic authors, although she is usually very under rated, being over shadowed by the Brontës.

Glad to have found this group. Looking forward to reading others perspectives on classic literature! :)

[Brina]

Welcome Katherine. I mainly read American classics but you mention an eclectic list of books. Glad you joined and looking forward to the discussions.

Hi and welcome Katherine! So glad that you found our group! You won't be disappointed! We read a great assortment of classics here. A little something for everyone! There are lots of buddy reads going on too so don't forget to check them out as well! Meantime, enjoy and happy reading! :)

[Antonietta]

Hi, I am Anto from bella Italia - I am a passionate reader - obviously - mostly of romance novels (old and new) and of course ... of the classics. I read the latter to continue challenging myself - and yeah, the group seemed just perfect for that! =)
I studied German, English & Italian Literature & Linquistics and read in all three languages. Write ... not so much. So, if you find spelling and grammar mistakes in my posts - soooorry, I'm trying! =).

In real life I am a digital marketer & web product manager currently living in beautiful Switzerland. I am glad to return to my book friends after a tough day at work and love to read my weekends away. Since I startet "Goodreading" a couple of years ago it quickly became my favorite online community. I am really glad to join you here. I'll start my first classics challenge with Dostoiewski's The Brothers Karamazov this month. So, gotta go! The Karamazovs are calling ;)! Happy reading to you all! SALUTI

Welcome Dafinka and Jeane. I am glad you joined. I have been inspired to branch out on my reading in general and read more classics since I joined and I hope you also do. Looking forward to you joining in the discussions.

[MKay]

Welcome newcomers! Brina is right-I have read more since I joined in January than I had in years! It helps to have others to discuss the books you are reading.

[Grace]

Hello everyone!

My name is Grace. I'm a music student studying piano performance in the Midwest. I spend most of my time practicing, but when I'm not practicing I love to read. I've loved reading since I was little and have begun reading a lot of classics over the past couple years. This is the first group I've joined on goodreads so I'm excited to get started!

I enjoy almost all types of books, although I can be picky with sci-fi. I'm currently reading To Kill A Mockingbird, and I have too many favorites to count.

When I'm not reading (or practicing) I love Netflix, food, concerts, yoga, and trying new things.

Looking forward to getting to know this group!

[Brina]

Welcome Grace. I'm also in the Midwest- where are you studying? So glad you joined, we just read To Kill a Mockingbird in the group last month so feel free to join in the discussions. Enjoy your reading here.

[Grace]

Hi Brina, I'm studying at Grand Valley State University

Hi Grace and welcome! It's a wonderful first group to join on Goodreads! Sci-fi isn't exactly my favorite either but this group is so amazing that it's actually motivated me to read it and some I've actually enjoyed! :). I know you'll enjoy yourself here! Happy reading! And practice, practice, practice!!! :)

[Pink]

Welcome Dafinka, Jeane and Grace!

I hope you enjoy our group, we have lots going on, but dive into whatever suits you and if you have any questions, just ask!

I look forward to chatting with you all soon :)

[Kiriko]

Hi everyone, I'm Kiriko from the biggest Island in the pacific; Papua New Guinea (if you look it up you'll see we are currently in a 'situation' ask anything you want I'm happy to answer any questions but right off the bench - we don't practice cannibalism anymore)

I'm single (not lonely) I don't have any kids - only a cat (her name is willow, 3yrs old and sassy) I'm in my first year of work as a banker fresh outta university and loving the fact I can look forward to fortnights.

I love Classics and it is my ultimate life goal to say I have read half of the books on any must read classics list there is. Can't wait to take part in the group discussions here and I so glad I found this group.

Thank you. I am in charge of putting on a camp for girls ages 12-18. We had over 300 girls and then adult leaders added to the numbers. It was good.

[Kristine]

Hi all! My name is Kristine, and I'm a(n almost graduated!) MA student in New Jersey, finishing my thesis this summer in Middle Eastern history. Now that I'm out of the school year grind, I'm rediscovering my love for leisure reading, and I had to join the group after seeing that The Master and Margarita was a June pick! I've been meaning to read M&M for years and years, but assumed it'd be too difficult (but joy of joys, it isn't!), so I'm excited to see what other classes are picked for the rest of the year!

[Paula W]

Welcome to all the new people! Hope you enjoy our group!!
