Welcome to the group.

Welcome. I hope you enjoy the books and discussion.

[Morgan]

Hello, my name is Morgan. I am a big reader but have not read many classics and feel it is time to tackle some blind spots. I figured with seeing all the activity in the group that this would be a good way to help keep me motivated. As I am not a huge classics reader and want to ease myself in I figured I may try a group challenge and read a few of the monthly titles as they grab me. I look forward to this group.

[Sara, Old School Classics]

Lovely to have you aboard, Morgan. You have come to the right place to wade into the classics and find others to share the experience.

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

[Samuel]

Hello, nice to meet you all! I'm Samuel and I've been a long time lurker around here but never got involved. Since I plan to go off to uni to study English Literature and History, I thought now is a great time to jump and get involved with the group. I adore reading many classics and hope by doing this I'll be able to get a few more under my belt.

[Sara, Old School Classics]

Glad you have come out of the shadows, Samuel. :o) I think this group is a great way to amp up for your future studies. Good luck in school and happy reading!

[Jayson]

Hello all,

I’m Jayson. I have had goodreads for a while but haven’t had the time to really look into it. Now I do. I came across this group because I really want to get back into the classics and see what other people are saying about them. I am mostly into fiction of any genre and like to read historical nonfiction as well. I believe classic literature can be a time capsule and help us learn more about ourselves in relation to today’s age. Hopefully you’ll enjoy the titles I mention. Gonna try to read at least three classic books a year. Would read more, but I have to make room for other genres and my writing. But if I can, I will. Looking forward to hearing from you.

[Natalie]

Welcome Jayson!

[Sara, Old School Classics]

Nice to have you here, Jayson. Always love to share thoughts and reactions with my friends.

Welcome. I like your description of classic literature as a "time capsule". Recent books I have read that felt like time capsules are Moll Flanders by Daniel Defoe and Twice-Told Tales by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I look forward to hearing more comments you make. Feel free to join any discussion thread that you like.

[MJ]

Hey everyone! I'm MJ!
I am a big bookworm and a definite introvert. My favorite classic is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. I'm 18 and besides reading, I like to bake, draw and play the ukulele! Looking forward to reading some great classics with you all!

[Katy, Quarterly Long Reads]

Hi, and welcome to the group Jason and MJ. Glad to see you join us.

[Natalie]

Hi MJ! Welcome!

Jane Eyre is one of my favorites as well. 💜
