Hi Sandro, and welcome to the group. You have a nice list of books in your introduction. Please join us in a discussion.


message 3256: by Yuan (new)

Yuan | 2 comments Hi, I'm Yuan, and while I am mainly a reader of fantasy and modern fiction, I have always been meaning to broaden my reading experiences. The last time I think I read classics consistently would have been back in high school during English. So I'm really excited to find this group and hopefully push myself into reading a few more classics. :D


message 3257: by Brina (new)

Brina Welcome Yuan-- I think you describe many of us here who haven't read classics since school. Glad you join us to broaden your reading horizons and looking forward to having you here.

Nima (nerdtanima) | 16 comments Hi all!

I'm Tanima, from the US. I just graduated with my mechE degree and am currently on the job hunt.

Gosh, I'm so behind on reading books. I feel regretful about it, but there's nothing I can do but continue on and try to read as much as possible! I love classics and can't wait to discover great books in this group :)


message 3271: by Pink (new)

Pink | 5491 comments Hi Tanima, welcome to the group! No need to feel regretful about what you haven't read, just think of all the wonderful books you have yet to discover! I hope you find some new favourites with us :)

Good luck with the job search and happy reading! :)


message 3274: by Hailee (new)

Hailee | 277 comments Welcome to the group Tanima. Congratulations on your degree. I found the gap between university and employment was a great time to catch up on the books I wanted to read for pleasure rather than for my course. Hopefully you'll find that too.

Jen (skipp) | 77 comments Hello everyone!

My name is Jen, I'm 25 & from Jersey in the Channel Islands, I split my time between Jersey & Oxfordshire in the UK where I'm working towards my doctorate.

I love science, reading & rambling and feel very fortunate that I'm able to spend my time doing lots of all of this :)

Pink | 5491 comments Welcome to the group Jen! I'm glad you've joined us and look forward to discussing classics with you soon. I'm in the UK too, in Essex and it's a cold and rainy day right now. I'm not sure if that's rambling weather, but it's certainly book reading weather! :)
