[Leigh]

Thanks Nicolle!

[Sarah]

Hi! I'm Zara, 20, a Forensic Science student at university in the UK. When I'm not in the labs I love to be reading and would like to expand my knowledge in the classics; my family are not all English so I was not brought up to read these books because they say they're too difficult, but I like to challenge myself :) can't wait to get reading!

[Jimmy]

Welcome Zara, I hope you enjoy!

[Nicolle]

Hello Nikki, I look forward to some long discussions with you. We are reading Little Women next month if you wish to join us.

Hi Zara, I used to want to study forensic science, though was put off by my lack of A grades in science at high school! What uni are you at? Classics are not all about hard reading, though some are more difficult than others. Might I recommend some to you if you let me know what genres you like?

[Sarah. B]

Hi everyone. Just joined the group and thought I should introduce myself. I`m Sarah, 28, and have decided I really want to read more of the classics. Hopefully I will be able to find a copy of Little Women for next month. Some of my favourite classics are To kill a Mockingbird, Brideshead revisited and East of Eden.

[Allison]

Hello everyone! My name is Allison and I'm from Louisiana. I'm new to goodreads and I was so excited to find other people reading the classics.

Allison, it's nice to see someone else from Louisiana here. Hello to everyone else new too.

Hello Nikki,

When you say "all you ladies," are you under the impression that this group is exclusively female? Not to sound accusatory, it's just that that part of your introduction threw me off...

[Nicolle]

Hiya Sarah and Allison! :)
Very nice to meet you both. I hope you do both find copies of Little Women and join us in our read. If not there is always our September read which is Anna Karenina.

[The Book Worm]

Hi everyone, my name is Bridget, I live in New York and I'm new to Good Reads. I love reading anything and everything, especially classics and memoirs/diaries/biographies. My favorite author is Anaïs Nin and my favorite classic book is Wuthering Heights. I look forward to meeting all of you and becoming friends.

[Nicolle]

Hi Bridget! What is the best book to start with for Anais Nin?
Enjoy this group, it is a treasure! :)

[The Book Worm]

Thank you! :)

I actually never read any of Anais Nin's fiction but I absolutely adore her diaries. A good friend of mine quoted her once to me and the first opportunity I had I looked her up. I then went to our local book store and found " The Unexpurgated Diary Of Anais Nin 1932 - 1934." (lncest From A Journal Of Love) Upon reading it I instantly fell in love with her writing and read all the volumes after. I just recently came across the earlier volumes and Im trying to work my way up to the 1932 edition.

[Nicolle]

Thanks, will look that up.

[Sam]

Hi, my name is Sam and I am looking forward to expanding my knowledge and experience by reading more classics!

[Nicolle]

Hi Sam. Why not join us in reading Little Women?

[Catherine]

I just recently joined this group because I noticed that "The Fellowship of the Ring" is one of the books being read and discussed (I actually posted a blog about Tolkien on my website a few days ago.) I am an author of romance, but cut my teeth on the classics and find that I am drawn to them again.
Good to meet you all and hope to join in discussions!

[Nicolle]

Hi Catherine, I look forward to discussing books with you. :)

[Malinda]

Hello, I'm Malinda from Arizona. I graduated from ASU last year and have found that I really miss being able to discuss my bookish thoughts with others! I'm looking forward to getting to know you all and finally reading Little Women!

[Vira]

Hi, I'm Vira, 17, from the Philippines. I'm an English student. I'm starting to love classics, I think I've already read at least 10. I'm currently reading Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.

I'm just a beginner so I'm glad I found this group. I hope we can be good friends :)

[Sheila]

Hi, I'm Sheila from the Philippines. Been a member since last year. I'm currently reading Jane Eyre. George Orwell's brilliant writing got me reading more classics.

[Kendra]

Hey, I'm Kendra, I'm from Canada, and I'm new to this group. I have only read a few easy classics in the past but I'm really excited to start reading more!

[Kim]

Hi! I'm Kim from Tennessee. I joined even though I'm not completely new to classics. I've read quite a few actually. But they're awesome and I love discussing them!

[sophie]

Heya, I'm Sophie from New Zealand and though I'm 22 I'm new to reading I havent really read much since I left school and want to get into the routine of reading a few books a month.
Currently trying to read the Great Gatsby, 30 pages in its alright so far, anyone read it?

I adore Pride and Prejudice...well the first half I never got through the whole thing but reread the start a million times.

I'm a bit of a mess really haha hi all.

[[deleted user]]

Hello to everyone new.

[Shruti]

Hello I'm Shruti and I've only read a few classics, but I hope to read more, currently I'm reading the Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

[[deleted user]]

Hi, Shruti (sorry you went so long without someone saying hello) and Jason.

[Jonathan]

Hey Shruti and Jason also. Shruti I quite like The Great Gatsby though many people do not.

[Miriam]

Hi,I'm Miriam from NYC. I'm an avid reader and would really like to add some more classics to my list. I'm currently reading A Tale of Two Cities and am finding it to be a difficult read for me. Excited to finally have people to discuss these types of books with.

[[deleted user]]

Hi, Miriam. Welcome to the group.

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

Welcome to all the new members!

[Miriam]

Thanks Michael and Lady Daniella. Looking forward to sharing my thoughts.

[Lucy Qhuay]

Hey fellows!
I'm Lucy and, even though I love to read all genres, I'm ashamed to tell that I haven't read many classics.
But my new goal is to read a lot of them.
I just started The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri. :)

[Nicolle]

Hi to all you new classic readers. I am so glad that many of you who haven't so much experience in classics have decided to tackle them. It may seem daunting as there is quite a big 'hoohar' made about them, but really they are just like any other book, but often very good reads. I hope you feel comfortable in our group as I know that it can be intimidating starting to read the classics.

[Amy]

Hello, my name is Amy. I live in Ohio. I'm making an effort to read the classics. I've read a couple but have tended to bypass the heftier books. It looks like this group is doing Anna Karenina in September and I actually have that one so ..no excuses. I'm working on We the Living by Ayn Rand at the moment and read Animal Farm last week.

[Nicolle]

Hiya Amy, I do hope you enjoy Anna Karenina as much as many of our group members do.

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

Welcome, Lucy and Amy!

[Naomi]

Hello, people. I'm Naomi. Nicolle got me on here,we're frinds (I think!). I have loved reading the classics for a few years now, but there's still so much I haven't yet touched upon. I tried to read Anna Karenina once and tailed off, so this seems like a good time to have a do-over. Seeing as I am technnologically illiterate, I would really appreciate any tips on how to get the best out of Goodreads. Thanks! :)

[Holly]

Welcome Naomi!

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

Hi Naomi.

The way to learn Goodreads is to dive in. Look up reviews on books you enjoy or intend to read. You can start adding books to your own account and over time, you get a feel for the different things you can do on this site.

[Nicolle]

Hi Naomi, nice to see you on here :)

[Tizzy]

Hi all, I'm Tiziana from Italy and I love English Literature. I hope to learn a lot from you all!

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

Welcome, Tiziana.

[Nicolle]

Hi Tiziana :c)

[Katy]

Hello! I'm Katy in Scotland. I read mostly classics, mainly because I never know what new books are any good, and thought it would be fun to talk about them with people who are coming to love them.

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

Welcome, Katy!

[Nicolle]

Hi Katy :) So glad you chose our group to join. I look forward to some classics discussion.

[Shannon]

Hey Everyone! I'm Shannon and I live in Louisiana. I love reading all different kinds of books and I can't wait to chat with you all about some classics!

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

Welcome, Shannon!

[John]

Hi, I am John from Georgia, U.S. I enjoy classics more than any other category, so it is hard to name a favorite book; my list would go on and on. I'll just name a couple that are among the many: Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo./ Bronte, Jane Eyre/ Ishiguro, Remains of the Day. There are many I haven't read that I would like to get around to, so this club suits me.

[Jonathan]

Hey there John welcome to the group!
