Classics Read in July

[Gia]

What classics did you read in July?

I read Peril at End House by Agatha Christie, Anne of Avonlea by L.M. Montgomery, and two Beverly Cleary books: Ramona and Her Father and Ramona and Her Mother. I loved them all!

For July I read Anne of Avonlea and Lady Susan and finished Northanger Abbey :)

I re-read P & P and read Northanger Abbey for the first time and started re-reading Emma which I hope to finish this coming week...So far I am really enjoying revisiting Austen’s novels I had previously read in my youth years and also discovering new experiences with some of her novels I had not read before...my goal is to read all her novels by the end of this year including her unfinished works

Hi all! In July I read The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins and The Professor by Charlotte Bronte! Not many, but I’m planning on reading more in August.

I listened to Emma on the Libby app, reread Jane Eyre, The Magnificent Ambersons, and David Copperfield. Starting this month with The Pickwick Papers, continuing to read War and Peace, Under Western Eyes, and My Cousin Rachel.

I read Persuasion, and I enjoyed it more than I did last time :) I also read Love and Freindship: And Other Youthful Writings and found it hilarious !

In July, I read Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, a beautiful coming-of-age story about love and happiness that I would recommend to everyone. I spent most of the month reading Jane Eyre. However, I also managed to read a short story, The Duplicity of Hargraves by O. Henry, which is a rather complex story with well-rounded characters. I read The Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie, one of the most renowned Poirot mysteries. I started reading Emily of New Moon by Lucy Maud Montgomery in July as the month came to cease.

[Ruth]

I read two French classics: Le Cheval Blanc by Elsa Triolet (I read it in French, I'm not quite sure it is available in English translation) and La force de l'âge by Simone de Beauvoir (which has been translated and is still widely available, it is the second volume in her memoirs). I loved both and can highly recommend them!
