Kelly Currently working on The Winner's Kiss and really loving it. Next up I am planning on reading Find Her from my library, and then Perfect Days.

Evgeny- I really love Lord of the Flies but have never read The Woman in White!

Laltay | 1 comments Currently reading Romeo and Juliet

Evgeny- I read both of them but "Woman in White" was so good, I recommend from the same author "Moonstone"

I read the Moonstone already and I quite agree with you - it is better.

I read An Ember in the Ashes two weeks ago and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! It took me a while to get into it, but once I did I was hooked! The characters are great and the world is different and kind of scary. Highly recommend it. BUT I'm currently reading Me Before You and oh boy... it's really good! I'm afraid to finish it because I have this stupid feeling it's gonna break my heart. Both books are great! If you're in the mood for fantasy pick An Ember in the Ashes, If not, Me before you. Hope you read and enjoy both books, though. :)


message 19: by Joe (new)

Joe Turner | 3 comments I'm just finishing The Book Thief. I've been delaying the ending because so many people have told me it's a very sad one. I live in England (American) and do not drive here, so I take a lot of buses and do a lot of reading on the buses. But I have been warned about the ending and I don't want to be embarrassed by bawling on the bus (hey, a good title for a book). The book is the latest read for our discussion group, meeting first Thursday of every month in a local pub. We read what the library has sufficient copies of.

In the bullpen, I have several murder mysteries waiting. I love the Italian murder mysteries because they don't focus on the violence, sometimes more of a cultural study or even an Italian cookbook. (I'm an Italian student, by the way, so it all fits in.)

My book group reads a lot of trashy novels and it's more like homework than pleasure. Can you tell me how your classics book group operates, how you select the books and some examples of titles. Thanks, Joe

Ozgee | 4 comments I'm reading a lot of books at the same time. We're reading Romeo & Juliet in school, other than that:

It is too early to tell, but it the very least it is an easy read so far.

The biggest criterion for the selection is the length: we try not to read books longer than 250 (300) pages - the rare exception like The Woman in White go to side reads.

We nominate books and it is much easier in case of classics as some of the group members have read the nominated books before. Having active discussion helps keeping interest even in boring books.

It really depends on the genre you would like to read.


message 27: by Meetali (new)

Meetali | 3 comments Um , okay so not really into biographies . have read all Rick Riordan , um hunger games series , Nicholas sparks , the book thief , gone girl , Many of Cassandra Clare's , Divergent series , just some of the books i have read. ( just to give you an idea) . There is no specific genre i read . Mostly into fiction i suppose , Classics are fine too .
