[Miriam]

Hi everyone!

I'm Miriam from Freiburg (Germany). I studied English and history to become a teacher, but ended up in a software company instead. However, I still love reading and try to do so as often as possible, mostly on the train. I especially like non-fiction books about world history, science, and psychology as well as fiction (dystopias, classics).

I'm looking forward to your inspirations!

[Brina]

Welcome,Miriam. Glad you joined to further your reading of classics here. Looking forward to seeing you in the group.

[Bob, Short Story Classics]

Welcome Michelle, Welcome Miriam, I hope you enjoy the group.

Hi I'm Whitney, I am an early childhood teacher. I love reading especially the classics and fantasy novels. Some of my favourite classics include Little Women, Wuthering Heights, The Picture of Dorian Grey and Call of the Wild.

[Piyumi]

Happy New Year everyone :)
I am Piyumi. I'm back in Sri Lanka after completing my PhD in Media and Cultural Studies in Scotland. Currently job hunting while settling back in my home land. I'm a half baked student of Literature, so have read the classics as part of my studies, but am a full time lover of the Classics and an avid reader.
Looking forward to chatting with all on common and new books.

Hi and welcome Whitney! So happy to meet another Wuthering Heights fan! I just read The Picture of Dorian Gray this year and thought it was really good. Also loved The Call of the Wild and what's not to like about Little Women?

Glad you found our group! Enjoy yourself and happy reading! :)

[Tracy]

Top of the morning everyone! I live in the outskirts of Chicago with my recently retired hubby and one small dog. I've always been an avid reader and like most of you consider myself a full fledged bookaholic. I've worked in libraries in some capacity or another for many years, but like my husband, am now retired.
I'm excited to join this group and read some classics, a resolution I make every year but rarely follow through with!

Hi Tracy! So happy you joined us! I also started out the same way you did, making a vow to read more classics each year. Guess what? Joining this group inspired me in so many ways and last year I pretty much read nothing but classics! I'm sure you'll do well here and you'll enjoy yourself too! Happy reading! :)

[Bob, Short Story Classics]

Welcome Piyumi and Tracy, I hope you enjoy the group. A new PhD and a new retiree, can't wait to read your views on the classics.

[Piyumi]

Thanks for the welcome :) excited for the year ahead

[Pink]

Welcome Piyumi and Tracy, I'm glad you've both decided to join us for some classics reading :)

[Piyumi]

Thanks, looking forward to it Pink....currently rereading Wuthering Heights

[Max]

Happy late New Year, all! My name is Max and I'm a 21 year old English/Statistics major. The classics have predominantly been my choice for reading material. You can always be sure that there's something in a classic novel that makes it, well, a classic; over-arching philosophies on the nature of the most basic and abstract aspects of life with amazing prose. My favorite area of classic literature is definitely 19th century Russian lit. I'm currently reading through Anna Karenina and I definitely look forward to reading this group's discussions and recommendations.

Hi and welcome Max! Glad you've joined us to read the classics! I'm sure you'll enjoy the books and discussions here! Happy reading! :)

[Piyumi]

Hi Max.....like your take on the Classics, haven't heard it put so well. Leo Tolstoy, ahh one of my favorites....Anna Karenina, the best. Enjoy!

[Brina]

Hello, Whitney, Piyumi, Tracey, and Max. Glad you all joined to read classics here. There are many choices each month so there should be some books that each of you enjoy. Looking forward to seeing you in the group.

Thanks Loretta and everyone for the warm welcome. I am hoping to branch out this year and read some of the more adult classics. Looks like this is a great place to get ideas.

[Hilary]

So delighted that there are so many new people! Welcome to you all. You will doubtless make a wonderful group even better! :)

[Kellyn]

Hi! I'm Kellyn Roth. I decided to join this group because I wanted to read more classics! I really love them, but I just don't make time for them anymore, especially since I started a review blog and started taking requests ... but yep. I need to start again.

[Pink]

Welcome Kellyn, plenty of classics to choose from here, so I hope you'll find time to read something with us :)

Hello, I'm Jeremy Wright. I live in Switzerland and aside from reading I also enjoy hiking in Summer and ski touring in Winter and writing sometimes.
I'm aiming to read thirty books this year and to read them more actively. To think and to discuss. This group must be the solution.
Happy reading all!

[Brina]

Welcome Jeremy. This is a great place to be to increase your reading. Good luck meeting your goals.

[Pink]

Welcome Jeremy, they sound like great reading goals for the year! I hope we encourage you to be more active in your reading :)

Hello and welcome Max, Kellyn, and Jeremy I'm happy you have joined us.

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Welcome to all of our newest members.

[Lotte]

Hi, I'm a 20-something Belgian girl and a privacy freak (hence my user name, Sanvean, which is actual the title of my all-time favourite song by Dead Can Dance).

One of my reading goals is reading the books on the World Library list (https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...) and reading the books that are left of my shelves.

I have joined this group to discuss some of the classics I'm reading of have read.

[Emily]

Hello! I'm currently on a major classics-reading streak and joined this group so I can get ideas for classics to add to my reading, as well as to join the discussions and see other readers' comments on the classics. Too often, I only get my own perspective or maybe a little scholarly guidance from a Foreword or essay in the beginning of the book, but I feel like I miss out on some of the meanings or ideas authors are describing, and I want to get the most out of these masterpieces.

We do have a lot going on, but don't worry about joining in with everything all at once. Maybe check out our current or upcoming group reads and see if anything particularly interests you :)

[Pink]

Welcome Lotte and Emily, we have lots of classics to read and discuss here! I hope you enjoy our group :)

[Jessica]

Hi everyone!

I'm Jessica and I live in the USA (Virginia). I've been on GR for a few years, but decided to join a couple of new groups this year. One of my reading resolutions is to read more classics, and this seems like a good group to do that in :).
