[esosh]

Hi all! I'm Esra from the Netherlands. Been a member of this group for a while, but never introduced myself. I never really used to read classics, mostly thrillers. Then there was a time that I didn't read at all (college, ugh). Now I like to mix it up and want to focus more on the classics. I like the buddy/group reads in this group wich has been the reason to join. Feel free to add. X

[Denise]

Welcome to all the most recent members. I'm eager to discuss books with this lovely group.

[Sarah]

Hello, everyone!
I'm Sarah from Canada. I have been a reader for as long as I can remember. My favourite classicist is Charles Dickens, although lately I've really enjoyed several Russian works (In the First Circle being particularly fantastic).
I'm looking forward to using this group to work through some of the more difficult pieces, like Ulysses -- I'm on my third attempt

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

Welcome to all the new members!

[Jennifer]

Hi!
I am Jennifer and I live in North Carolina. I am just starting my love for classics. I am looking forward to being in this group.

[Holly]

Hello and welcome Jennifer!

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

Welcome, Jennifer!

[Ellie]

Hello! I'm Ellie from Florida. My favorite classic novel is "Jane Eyre" which I read when I was 17. I love literature, and I'm currently enjoying the first volume of "The Diary of Anais Nin."

[Brenna]

Hello, I'm Brenna from Nova Scotia, Canada and I'm 22. I love reading but I haven't been doing much of it lately, so I figured this group would be a good way to help reading find it's place in my life again.

I haven't read many classics but I look forward to participating in this group!

[Martins]

Hello, I'm Martins from Latvia. I'm 17 and for the past year or so I have been reading many classical books and this group would be great for me because I usually feel terrible when I have no one to talk to about the books I read. It would also motivate me to finally read books like
Middlemarch that I have been putting off for a long time.

[Yona]

Hello everyone, I'm Yona from Sofia, Bulgaria. I'm 20 and books are my passion, I like to read all types of genres. I haven't read as many classics as I would like, but I hope being in this group will change that.

[Bron]

HI everyone, I am Bron from Australia. I love reading classics but find it hard o fit them in regularly with everything else on my list that I want to read. However I love the idea of having a group to read with to chat about the book as I think that is really helpful when getting into the classics. I have my copy of Lolita on the way for the September group read. Can't wait to get into it. Bron

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

We are so excited to welcome all the new members. Make yourself at home!

[Diana]

Hello everyone, my name is Diana, I'm from the Netherlands. I love reading, but haven't read as many classics as I'd like. By being a member of this group I hope that that will change. Cheers!

[B'burg Linda]

Hello, everyone! I'm Linda and am from the US (VA). I am new to Goodreads, and this group, though I have been 'lurking' for several weeks. I am a lifelong reader, but as a new retiree, I have really been indulging myself. I am hoping to read some classics that I haven't yet read (there are many!) and thinking that it will be more fun if I have someone to discuss the books with. I am in two in person book clubs, but neither group reads classics very often. I am looking forward to joining you for this month's group read (Lolita) and hearing what you all have to say.

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

Welcome, Diana and Linda!

[Joanne]

Hi, I'm Joanne from Florida. I just took early retirement from being a school librarian. After running a library for 7th-12th graders for the last ten years I realized I have not read that many classics. I am new to Good Reads; glad I found this group so quickly! I am looking forward to reading and discussing books I have missed. I have read Gone With the Wind before (twice) as it is one of my all-time favs. Looking forward to reading it again and discussing it for the quarterly read! So glad to be here!!

[☯Emily , moderator]

Welcome to Goodreads and to our group. You are welcome to join the discussion of Gone With the Wind any time.

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

Welcome, Joanne!

[Edgarf]

Hello, my name is Edgar. I am currently reading Middlemarch for the first time. Wanting to discuss Middlemarch and doing a search on Goodreads, I found this group.
We are always beginners when it come to reading the classics. Keeping that in mind and despite the fact I am 60 years old and have have been working my way through the classic texts since grammar school I think may enjoy this group.

[Brooke]

Hey everyone! My name is Brooke. I'm a lover of all kinds of books, but wanted to join this group because I have a soft spot for classics. I'm looking forward to reading with all of you. Can't wait until the 2015 reading challenges start. I'm ready to get my read on. :)

Hello everyone! I'm Sydney. I like reading almost all genres. But within the past year or so, I've decided to try to read more 'classics' and I've been loving it!

[Arlene]

Welcome Sydney!

[☯Emily , moderator]

Welcome to more classic options!

[Jennifer]

Hi everyone! I am Jennifer and I live in Texas. I love reading all genres and am a bit of a book hoarder. My preference is a book in my hand instead of electronically and I just can never seem to part with them!

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

Welcome, Jennifer and other new members!

[[deleted user]]

Hi everybody. My name is Traci and I'm a native of California. And I read pretty much anything I can get my hands on. But my go to genres tend to be fantasy, horror, historical, and classic literature. And any in between. I have a great horde of books to get to and I have made it a goal to finally get through my ever expanding to be read list. Or as I think of it, "My Bucket List of Books". One part of this goal is to read all those classics I always meant to.

My favorite classics tend to be the darker ones. I love gothic tales, horrors, and tragedies. Dracula. Frankenstein. The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. The Phantom of the Opera. Jane Eyre. I also love big epics like Les Miserables. But I also enjoy the romance of Jane Austen. And children's books such as Alice in Wonderland, which is a favorite of mine.

[Susie]

Hi everyone, my name is Susie and I live in Colorado. I have always loved reading but somehow have managed to read very few of the Classics in my life. I am inspired this year to change that!
I have joined the challenge to read/listen to 5 Classics in 2015. I just finished Wuthering Heights and am starting Pride and Prejudice, a monthly selection from another group. I look forward to expanding my horizons with all of you!

[☯Emily , moderator]

Traci and Susie, we are glad you are part of our group.

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

[Kris]

Hello all, I'm Kris and live in Minnesota. I read many genres but never have really read a lot of the classics. I am making an effort to add more classics to my current reading habits.

This year I have read Dracula(which I loved) and The Haunted book shop by Christopher Morley.

[☯Emily , moderator]

Welcome Matt and Kris! You are both welcome to join our discussion in June when we read Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy. Read it before you see the movie! Matt, many of our readers listen to the books instead of actually reading them. Would that be easier for you?

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

Welcome, Matt and Kris!

[Catherine]

Hi everyone! I'm Catherine and I live in Switzerland. I joined goodreads.com and this group almost 3 years ago, but never had the time and/or the energy to do anything around here (unfortunately). I've always been a lover of classic literature and now that I have received my very first Kindle Paperwhite this morning, I am ready and look forward to read and discuss books with you all :)

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

Welcome, Catherine! There are so many great free classic books available as ebooks. You'll have fun filling up your Kindle!

[Topher]

Willkommen Catherine,
I am in a similar situation. I've been a "member" for a long time but haven't been an active participant at all. I hope to have more time for this in the near future. I've loved Classic Lit. since I was a kid and have read a good sized fraction of the genre, but I hope to find more recommendations here.
