[Jamie]

Hi there! My name is Jamie and I am a recent English university graduate. Due to my education I've read quite a few classics and would love to read and discuss more! Reading and discussing texts, especially classics, was what I loved about university and I would love to continue. I am new to goodreads and online book clubs, but am excited to give it all a try!

Hi and welcome Jamie to Goodreads and our group! I'm sure you'll find Goodreads and our group to your liking! Jump in anywhere!! Enjoy yourself and happy reading! :)

[Brina]

Welcome Jamie. Glad you joined. I am impressed that you want to continue reading classics now that you have finished school. There are lots of choices each month so there should always be a book or two that you are interested in discussing. Looking forward to seeing you here.

[Deidra]

Hello everyone! My name is Deidra. Lifelong reader whether it was the Babysitter's Club books as a little girl, Jane Eyre as a teen, or Blood Meridian as an adult. Excited to be part of this group because I love reading the classics, and of course would like to absorb classics that I've missed so far in life. My favorite books would be The Grapes of Wrath and As I Lay Dying, but I also love Victorian literature and Russian literature classics.

[Brina]

Welcome Deidra. This is a great place to be to read the classics you have missed and expand your reading horizons. There are many books each month so there is something for everyone. I look forward to seeing you in the group. Enjoy.

[Pink]

[Amy]

Hi everyone! I'm Amy and I'm a Canadian living in Italy. I love to read and am just getting into the classics. I really like the idea of discussing books and have never been part of a book club so this sounds fun :).
I love seeing new places, cooking, gardening, hiking, being outside, drawing/painting and sometimes binge-watching Netflix.
I'm excited to be part of the club. Thanks for having me!

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Welcome everyone. I have been really busy lately and have less time on the internet & thus Goodreads.

I am excited to see the group grow & I love talking books with all of you.

[James]

Hey everyone, I'm James. I'm a software engineer from Nairobi. I haven't been reading as much as I should over the past few years but I'm slowly getting back on track. I'm also trying to quit tv and movies and replace them with books so hopefully this will help :)

Hello everyone!

I'm Shar. I am a 20 yr old student. Haven't been reading as much as I like since starting Uni.
I love all genres of books and I am excited to be a part of a group that might help me to remedy that.

[Brina]

Welcome James and Shar. This is a great group to increase your reading of classics and all other books too. Glad you joined and looking forward to seeing both of you in the group.

Hi and welcome Andrew! So happy you're here! Based on your comments, I'm sure you'll find our group to your liking. We do read classics which include sci-fi, history! We read an array of authors, some of whom you've mentioned. I look forward to reading your comments on the threads! Happy reading! :)

[Brina]

Welcome Andrew. Your eclectic reading tastes sound extremely interesting and I am glad you joined this group. Looking forward to seeing you here in group discussions.

[Pink]

Welcome Amy, James, Shar and Andrew, I hope you enjoy our group and discover some new favourite classics :)

Andrew wrote: "Over the last year or so I have read all of Virginia Woolf's novels and short stories and I am now about to start reading her essays. Other classic writers I have been reading recently include George Orwell, Aldous Huxley and Evelyn Waugh...."

These are some of my favourite authors as well, I really should read some more of their work, as I have a stack more to get through from my shelves. There's just never enough time for everything I want to read...

[Darren]

Andrew - Welcome! :o)
I just did a "Compare Books" with you and got 76% (which is pretty high) - was particularly impressed to see that the most obscure book we have in common is Moorcock's The Knight of the Swords which is one of my all-time faves!

[Pink]

Andrew, that is always my problem. I stopped buying books a couple of years ago, determined to read everything on my shelves, but I rejoined the library at the same time and so I have a constant stream of 'new books' to read every month. This year I've been trying to get through some bigger classics that I've been putting off for years, but there's always more things that I want to read.

[Nina]

Hi everyone, I'm Nina. I live in Wellington New Zealand.

My favourite story my parents tell me from my childhood is that when I was a toddler, I was allowed 50c every week to choose either a bag of lollies or a golden book. Apparently even from that young age I would always choose the book. Even now, I'm so glad my children understand this important fact about me. Recently I called one of my 4yr olds a milk monster as he loves to drink a lot of milk and he in return called me a "book monster" - this made me insanely happy.

I'm really happy to find goodreads. I wish I had more time to read but the kids take up all my non-work time. But I'll follow this group and hopefully try and match up with some of the reading you are doing because I love the discussion.

Nina, welcome, and I just love this story! I think you're in the right place, and will enjoy stopping by whenever you can to find more books to feed that book monster!

Hi and welcome Nina to Goodreads and our group! You're not alone with time constraints! We all have the same problem, so you'll be in good company here! Enjoy and happy reading! :)

[Brina]

Welcome Nina to goodreads and this group. I know it's tough making time for yourself to read when your kids are little. I didn't really read much for 8 years other than an occasional mystery or reread. At the time it is frustrating to not read but they are only young once so enjoy your little one. Hope to see you here in this group when you are able to enjoy reading.

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

I've been out of town. Welcome to all of our new members. I'm excited to discuss books with each of you and to get to know you a bit through the discussions.

[Pink]

Welcome to the group Nina, I think you'll find a few like minded book monsters here :) Just join in with whatever you have time for, we all go through periods where we have more time to read than others, but it should always be a pleasure and not a chore. I didn't read that much when my children were younger, apart from stories we read together.

Hello all!

I'm Jesse, and I live in Atlanta, Georgia. I was a horrible English/Literature student growing up, and am now playing catch-up. I haven't found much success in finding like minded folks, but am thankful for finding this site/app and this group - I need a bit of a support group if you will. I'm currently wrapping up Don Quixote (which has been a blast), and am looking forward to getting started with the group during the September cycle!

[Brina]

Welcome Jesse. Glad you joined us so you would have people to share your love of classics with. Some of the September choices are some of my favorites and I hope you are able to participate. Looking forward to seeing you in the group.

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Welcome to the group Jesse. We are so glad that you joined us. I'm sure you will find several friends here in the group for your support group. I hope I can be one! So glad that you plan to join some of the reads in September.
