[Catherine]

Thank you, Danielle! Yes, I saw that on Amazon long before I ordered my Kindle and I am thrilled by that! For example our June group book didn't cost me a dime ;)

[Catherine]

Many thanks to you too, Topher! I am glad to see that I'm not the only one around here who was hiding in the shadows for quite a while :)

Hi everyone! I'm Marietta and I am 14 years old. I have always loved the classics (but I've only read 2 Dickens' novels). I really want to read more classics, but I'm always deterred by the thickness of them! I hope I'll make myself read more by joining the group reads. :)

Morning everyone. I am Nick and I've spent years buying classics because they look good but never reading them. I want to change that. No more being Gatsby.

The books on the book shelf are ones we have read. All other books can be nominated unless we read the author in the past year.

[☯Emily , moderator]

Welcome Dj and Nicholas. I hope you can join us in the August reading of The Island of Dr. Moreau.

You can judge it yourself but generally if your on the books page you can see if others have shelved it as a classic. See our thread 'what is a classic' below this.

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

Welcome to all the new members.

As far as Kjs' question, we don't necessarily all agree on what constitutes a classic. I think one hard and fast rule we've agreed was that it needs to be at least fifty years old.

[Fran]

Hi, I'm Fran from California. I hope to enjoy a variety of classics with the group. Nice to meet everyone!

[Arlene]

Welcome Fran

[Nathalie]

Hi, I'm Nathalie. I live in Belgium. To be honest I haven't read so many classics yet but my favourites so far must be Persuasion, Great expectations and The painted veil. Looking forward to discover many more with you!

Hi Nathalie, welcome!! I'm currently reading Great Expectations and really liking it. I loved The Painted Veil and Persuasion.

Welcome! We must like the same type of books, since Persuasion and The Painted Veil are two of my favorites. I don't care for Charles Dickens, but I do think that Great Expectations is one of his better books.

[Kirsten]

Welcome, Nathalie!

I love Jane Austen, too. Have you tried books by the Bronte Sisters? They're great too!

[Nathalie]

Thank you! I haven't read anything by the Bronte sisters yet but Jane Eyre and Whutering heights are on my list. Nice to know we have some favourite books in common!

[Danielle The Book Huntress]

Hi, Im ella, im a middle schooler in the middle of the U.S. (Iowa) and Ive just always loved classics, starting with A Little Princess then in 3rd and 4th grade I read Little Women. I'd have to say thats my favorite. Ive just never been too into faires and alieny stufff.
I look forward to reading Jane Eyre, you guys make it sound really good!

DISCLAIMER: Some books i wont be allowed to read (age) so if you guys, when picking books, could you pick some YA, children safe options for me??

[☯Emily , moderator]

Welcome, Ella. The vast majority of the books nominated are suitable for teenagers. You will get a chance to vote each month and hopefully the winner will be a book you can read! In fact, we are currently reading Jamaica Inn which many of us first read as young teens.

[[deleted user]]

Yes!

[RitaSkeeter]

Hi Ella,
Welcome to the group! Another option; if there is a particular classic you are wanting to read you could check in with the buddy read thread to see if there is anyone who may want to read it with you.
Jane Eyre is all time favourite book, hands down.

Hi my name is Ruqayya (Call me Kaia). I'm 21 years old.
I'm from United Arab Emirates. English is not my main language. And I am so beginner at English Literature.

[☯Emily , moderator]

Welcome, Kaia. You can read the books selected each month in any language, if they are available. We have readers who read the books in French and German. Our group tries to expose classic literature to readers who are not familiar with it.

[Kirsten]

Welcome, Kaia!

[Nicolle]

Hi Kaia :)
