Hi everyone, my name is Rebecca and I live in Essex, England. I am a complete book lover, but woefully lacking in reading classic books!

[Monique]

Hi everyone, I'm new...
I've honestly never read a classic that wasn't a school assignment. I joined to help change that hopefully!

[Nicolle]

Hiya Monique, we read loads of classic books, and hopefully you will come to love them as we do!

[Jean-Francois]

Hello, I also recently joined this group.
My name is Jean-Francois from Canada.

So far, I read: the pearl, 1984 & Animal Farm, Robinson Crusoe (My first book ever when I was a kid) I normally read fantasy, SyFi and Science, but hoping to extend my reading horizons by joining this group. And who knows, maybe I will discover a SyFi book that is also a classic! I hear Carl Sagan wrote some modern classics.

I now read (almost) exclusively on my Kobo. Didn't read too much anymore with life getting in the way, until I got the e-reader and now I've been reading a lot more.
Anyway, looking forward to discuss books with all and read the monthly group read.

[Carrie]

Hello! I just joined! I'm so exciting to read and discuss classics. I read some in high school but didn't appreciate them as I do now. I am currently reading Tale of Two Cities. I'm hoping to finish it and begin reading February's book selection. Can't wait! :)

[The Pirate Ghost]

Hello Carrie. Welcome.

Hello!
Yes, there are some science fiction works that are classics. Journey to the Center of the Earth, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and other works by Jules Verne are classics and are considered science fiction. Enjoy!

Welcome Jean-Francois. Hello. 1984 was a great read. There's also some Arthur Conan Doyle that fits the bill for classic Sci-Fi. The Challenger stories (Starting with The Lost World) and Edgar Rice Burroughs Baroom Series (John Carter of Mars). Jules Verne's got severl wonderful stories.

I can't wait to dig into those a little more myself (I read most of them when I was younger, but my ability to appriciate them has grown as I've gotten older (and I liked them then so it's double fun for me now).

[Nicolle]

Hello Jean-Francois and Carrie! You have come to the right group if you want to read more classics.

[Tammy]

Hi, I'm Tammy from Ontario Canada. I've been an avid reader all my life but only recently started with the classics. It's nice to have a little direction and I think this group will be helpful for that. I've recently being going through the Jane Austen novels and am reading Northanger Abbey at the moment. So far, Persuasion is my favorite of hers. Nice to meet you all :)

[The Pirate Ghost]
