June Classis TBR

[Naomi]

What do you all plan on reading this month?

I think I'm gonna read Sense and Sensibility this month and focus the rest of my reading on a bit of non-fiction

[Heather]

I'm reading Orlando by Virginia Woolf at the moment. I'm also hoping to read both volumes of Anne Lister's diaries later this month, along with Read with Pride (by our fearless leader Lucy Powrie), The Tales of Hoffmann by E.T.A. Hoffmann, and an oral history of Angels in America.

[Gia]

This month I'm reading The Little Prince, Anne of Green Gables #1, Northanger Abbey, The Outsiders, The Moving Finger by Agatha Christie, and two Beverly Cleary books: Ramona the Pest and Ramona the Brave. Will be a fun reading month!

[Quan]

This month I will buddy read North and South. I would appreciate any recommendations! I have a lot of classics that I’ve never read. I’ve never read any Harding, Welty, or Elliot. If anyone has read any of these three do you have a favorite? I’ve also not read Anne Bronte, Ralph Ellison, and the only Mark Twain I’ve read is A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court (10th grade/1990).

I also have Wiley Cash on audio and Lord of the Flies (also 10th grade) on audiobook.

[Erin]

I’m thinking of something more lighthearted this month. Maybe “Northanger Abbey” by Jane Austen or a P.G. Wodehouse book. I’m going to finish a few contemporary books and then see where the mood takes me.

How many of you are mood readers?

[Lana]

I'm re-reading 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Bronte and 'The Master And Margarita' by Mikhail Bulgakov.

[Elisa]

I'm reading 'North and South' (Gaskell) and 'Mrs Dalloway' (Woolf)

[Robert Lloyd]

I'm reading "The Sorrows of Young Werther" by Goethe. I think I'll be finished with it in a week or so. My next book will be either Great Expectations or Crime and Punishment

[Erika]

I am reading Jane Eyre in June and probably won't have enough time for another one

[Ashley]

Oh man. Sense and Sensibility is hard for me to get through unless I’m in the mood. I’m not sure why it bugs me! Love Austen though!

I’m reading North and South. A slow read of Count if Monte Cristo. Listening to Anne of Ingleside (first time!). I’ll probably start another once I finish N&S, but I’m not sure what yet. The rest of my reads are nonfiction.

[Rebecca]

I read Sense and Sensibility a couple of years ago and as soon as I finished it all I wanted to do was turn back to the beginning and read it again. So I did. That's the only time I've ever done that. I reread books rarely and never immediately. I don’t know what it is about that one.

[Iza]

This month, I read :
- a modern classic, Barbara Pym's Excellent women, that left me with mixed feelings of boredom and enjoyment,
- Jane Austen's Mansfield Park, that will probably be my least favourite of hers, though I absolutely adored Mrs Norris and Lady Bertram !
- I re-read Northanger Abbey, Jane Austen again, and found it light and fun,
- and I'm currently re-reading Emma and I'm loving it.

[Angela]

Just finished ‘Can You Forgive Her?’ - the first novel in the Palliser series by Anthony Trollope. Alice, the main character, was a little frustrating at times - as was her cousin Glencora but it all came to a satisfying conclusion in the end. A promising start - looking forward to the next in the series.

[Jackie]

I'm currently rereading Jane Eyre for the third time since I got a new edition of it. I also started reading David Copperfield, but because my reading was thrown off by obsessing over a new television I haven't come back to it. I did start Pickwick Papers too.
