Welcome Marian, I hope this group will help you get back to some more classic reading :)

[Cat]

Hello! I'm Catherine from Liverpool in the UK in real life, but through the freedom that only reading books can give me, I regularly enjoy dwelling in places I could only dream of all over the world and beyond! I enjoy well written books of any genre and I'm looking forward to getting acquainted with classics I've not yet read!

Thank you Pink:)The last 2 classics I read were Frankinstein by Mary Shelly and Lord of the Flies..both are excellent reads.

[Pink]

Welcome to the group Cat, I too like to live out my travelling dreams by reading books about other wonderful places. It also allows me to travel in time, which isn't so possible! I hope you discover some new classics to enjoy with us.

Marian, they're both great books, though I didn't find either of them easy reads, they were worth the effort.

I understand what your saying Pink,Lord of the Flies is not any easy read as its characters(the boys)and reading the darker side of them,stranded,and the savagery.

Hi Kathy,and thank you for the warm welcome:)I have taken out my book "Villete" as Im not sure if I have ever read it:)

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Marian, I really am glad to see you here! And thanks for the friend invite too. It's okay not to read all of the group reads. We have that many just for variety. It is also okay to choose from books we have already read and comment on those older discussions. Happy reading.

Thank you Kathy for your explanation:)For me thou,there is a certain bucket list that needs to be read and Villete happens to be one of those books,as is Middlemarch,and Madame Pompadour..but that remains to be seen..or ummm..read..lol!

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Bucket list books -- love it! BTW I loved Middlemarch

Welcome, Marlene!
Spent the night in Ocala many times on the way to Orlando. Its also where we first discovered Sunny's BBQ. Sadly the closest one to us is about 10 hours away *cries*

Oh, Jane Eyre. I love Jane Eyre. I think Middlemarch is even better though--happy reading, Marian!

[Katie]

Hi all,
I've been on Goodreads a while but I've joined this group as I'm really going through a phase where I want to read more classics (I've read quite a few but, of course, there's so many I've probably barely scratched the surface). Huge fan of Susan Coolidge, Louisa May Alcott, Charles Dickens, L. Frank Baum, Mary Shelley, Charlotte Bronte, Lewis Carroll... I could go on and on (and on and on; does Ian Fleming count?). I'm currently on R.L. Stevenson's Kidnapped, which I hadn't read before, and I've got Bram Stoker's Dracula ready for my next read; I'm familiar with the story and I really enjoyed LeFanou's Carmilla, so I have high hopes for that one!

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Hi Katie and welcome to the group.

[Jen]

Hi Katie, welcome! I loved Carmilla too, hope you enjoy Dracula

[Pink]

Welcome to the group Katie, I'm sure you're in the right place if you're in a phase of reading classics :)

Hi, I'm Francisca, currently living in Lisbon but soon moving to Boston to start a doctoral program in Economics. In my free time (and especially on the train to work!)

[Kelsey]

Hello all, I'm Kelsey and I live in Oregon. I joined the group because the moderators appear to be doing a very good job organizing things, and the books on the shelves are either ones I've wanted to read for a while, or new recommendations I am curious about. This is my first Goodreads group.

[Marian]

Hello there Kelsey..nice to meet you:)Im Marian,and Im fairly new here myself,but what a wonderful forum,and the folks here are warm and kind.So welcome:)

[Tonia]

Marian and Tonia, I'm glad you're both enjoying it here too! It's our fantastic, friendly members that makes it such a pleasure to help moderate this group!

[Cynda]

Hi All. My Goodreads friend Brina told me about this group. I want to read more classics, re-read some.
I live in South Texas and have lived in some part of South Texas most of my life. For a couple of years I lived in central Jackson MS.
Eons ago, I attended college and university here in South Texas where I was an English major. I love classics. They feel substantial.
I look foward to reading and discussing with my new friends here.

[Brina]

Cynda I am so glad that you found this group. And welcome Kelsey. This is a great group to join, lots of book choices, and discussions. I'm sure you're going to enjoy it here.
