[Kassondra]

Hello. I'm Kassondra I'm 21. I'm in college majoring in psychology(as of now). I am a huge book worm I can't remember the last time I wasn't reading a book. So I am always looking for a good book to read and someone to discuss it with but I live in a small country town where very few people read for fun so I was hoping to some recommendations from you guys. I like series of books. I read fiction fantasy teen fantasy science fiction Greek mythology based books anything by Nicholas Sparks and Ellen Hopkins the classics tragedies are what I usually read but I'm very open to try new things.

[Leslie]

Welcome Kassondra! Feel free to join in any of the discussions :)

[Ankita]

Hey Kassondra, if you love Greek mythology, I highly recommend Abandon by Meg Cabot.

I used to love her books! Haven't read anything by her in years though.

[Susan]

Welcome to everyone!

[Danyel]

Hello everybody, I'm Danyel. I'm a college student from Dallas, and am happily returning to Goodreads from a long hiatus. My favorites are all kinds of romance, fantasy, and historical fiction. And I'm just recently moving more toward classic short stories.

Fun fact: Though I'm of the "born with a computer in hand" generation, this is my first ever intro post to a group. Seems fitting that it'd be a group about my life's long obsession with books!

[Bionic Jean]

Hi Danyel! Nice to meet you. Hope you enjoy this group - we read all sorts of things :)

[Charbel]

Welcome back to Goodreads, Danyel!

[Alice]

Hi, I'm Alice from Vancouver Canada (born and grew up in Hong Kong). I've been searching for groups with an interest in classics and historical fiction and, bingo, I've found one!

I'm a semi-retiree now and am enjoying my freedom to do all the reading I want. Of particular interest to me are translated French classics of the 19th century, but I like all classics. I also enjoy writing and have thus far written one non-fiction book and one novel set in Hong Kong.

Nice to meet you all!

[Amber]

Hey Alice welcome to the group! Enjoy your stay. I moderate a classic book club here on gr called Tattered Tales so feel free to join us. We try to read a classic book a month as our group read.

[Alice]

Thanks so much, Amber. I would love to join Tattered Tales.

Welcome Alice! I am trying to focus on French classics this year - feel free to join me for any that take your fancy :) I just started The Red and the Black by Stendhal today.

[Andrew]

Then you must like Victor Hugo ^^

[Alice]

Victor Hugo is my favorite author, not only for his writings, but also for the socially conscious and righteous man that he was! He is my kind of hero!

Hi Shirley. Thanks for having me. I'm already feeling comfortable here!

[Andrew]

@Alice I'll have to peruse your list of "read" books to get some ideas for other French authors.

[LauraT]

Hi Alice, glad to see you here...

[Jenny]

Welcome Alice!

[Alannah]

Welcome Alice.

[Ankita]

Hi Alice....

[Bionic Jean]

Hi Alice and welcome! Good to see you here. This is a great group :)

[Diane S ☔]

Welcome Alice

[Ankita]

So I really wanted to ask, whether anyone of you have read The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini......... What do you think about it?????

[Alannah]

Ankita wrote: "So I really wanted to ask, whether anyone of you have read The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini......... What do you think about it?????"

Yes, I have. I loved it but I preferred A Thousand Splendid Suns whereas everyone I spoke to preferred the Kite Runner.

[Alannah]

Though I can't believe I haven't managed to read And the Mountains Echoed yet.

[Dhanaraj]

@Alannah: I am of the same opinion. I preferred Hosseini's second novel to his forst one. And I have not read the third one yet.

[Ankita]

Even I want to read the other two books....A lot of people say that each book is better than the previous one........ So I am actually awaiting two more treats...:)

Dhanaraj wrote: "@Alannah: I am of the same opinion. I preferred Hosseini's second novel to his forst one. And I have not read the third one yet."

Yes, but which did you read first? They were both great books, but for me, The Kite Runner was the better, but it may just have been because I read it first.

Hi Andrew, please feel free to do so. My favorite French authors are Victor Hugo, Emile Zola, Albert Camus and Simone de Beauvoir. And I love 19th century French novels.

[Alice]
