message 4156: by Ben (new)

Ben | 1 comments My name is Ben. I'm from Ohio. I enjoy swimming, running, playing guitar, gardening, and of course reading. I particularly like to read classics of any stripe, but I also dabble in philosophy, Christian theology, ancient literature, and history. I look forward to being introduced to more classics, and to having some structure placed on my rather aimless exploration thus far.

Jennifer Weiland Hello, my name is Jennifer. I am 26 years old and have not read that many classics to be honest, but have always wanted to try to do so. With so many great books out there I often put aside the oldies for a new model, but always I say 'I would love to read that one day...". When I saw this group I was excited because I have been searching for a book club and this one in particular caters towards classics! I am eager to try to do some classical reading with you all. I cannot promise that I will read all of the books on the list, but I will do my best to try to keep up.
