Classics Corner

Any classic books you want to read before the year is over? I think mine is Jane Eyre.

To anyone who is familiar with the Count of Monte Cristo, is there a strong need to read the full version over the abridged (which is still like 400 pages)? I read the abridged back in middle school but don’t remember a ton and would like a reread, but I’m wondering if I should just commit to the full version or not. TIA!

Is it me or am I the only one that read  Frankenstein and loved it. And understood the whole reason why the monster was killing people. And feel like the doctor was the bad guy actually. But for some reason can’t remember the whole story and need to reread it again??

Sorry if this isn’t allowed, I’m just selling a lot of books on Pango. There’s new releases, classics, mangas and every genre in-between. Store link is here: https://pangobooks.com/bookstore/sarah605940

Hello Classics Corner It’s time for a reading check in. 😁 What are you reading? How is it going? Love ❤️ Blah 😑 or Ugh 😣?

I finally have the motivation to make something…if you could have a cutting board (or a charcuterie board) with with a mermaid on it, what books should she read? And what should I have things coming out of the books? Like should I have a squid for “10,000 leagues under the sea?” Or a coffee for Starbucks, the first mate in Moby Dick? Or is that doing too much?

I notice now to leave a written review you have to first leave a star rating, which I find annoying. Also dating reviews is not my favorite since half the time I have no idea when I finished a book. None of this is conductive to a discussion post, but I don’t know where the suggestion box for my complaints is, so I’ll just shout to the sky here.

For anybody who has read this, is the entirety like the first part? I dnf after the first bit once it started talking about hanging. I'm wondering if it's worth finishing after all.

Hey Classics Corner! It’s time for a reading check in. Of course one of my favorite parts of being a host is checking out what everyone is reading. So.. what have you been reading? Love it? Or is it inducing a book slump?

Hello Classic Corner! For those who love Classic Mysteries, here’s a reminder of our live discussion event this Thursday 4:00 pm Pacific. We will be discussing Murder on the Orient Express in the Mystery Mob Lounge. Please join us! #mysterybookgroup #classicsbookgroup #agathachristie #murderontheorientexpress

Just finished this book this week. Read a portion of it when I was younger for school and watched the movie and have wanted to read it for a long time. Found it for a good price on eBay and so glad I got it! It was a quick and fun read bought back some memories. Recommend for everyone especially those that deal with children and wonder what kind of impact you have on their lives.

Hi everyone! We had a bad connection for the Grapes of Wrath event going on now. But we are back on. You can join us now, we have fixed it.

Hi, my name is Kaitlyn and I love to write, I thought it would be a great idea for there to be a group discussion where writers of all kinds can share their ideas/ thoughts/ opinions on any and all forms of books, podcasts, screen plays, or anything else that has to do with writing wether it's their own or someone else's. The link to the group will be down in the comments. Thank vou!!

Hello Classics Book Group. I am posting this reminder for our Live Discussion event for our Classic Group Read: The Grapes 🍇 of Wrath. Have you read the book? Do you love Steinbeck? Bring all thoughts, questions and insights to the discussion this upcoming Thursday. #classicsbookgroup #thegrapesofwrath

Hi all! Not a book ask or discussion, but I just wanted to let anyone who might be interested know that I did a TEDx talk on my university on classic underrepresented American women writers from history, where I also talk about the website database I made of them. If you’re interested, here’s the link to watch! I hope you like it! :) https://youtu.be/HYrpk1uc92s?si=pLLXDLFRuDDroiNB

Hello Classics Corner, we will have to reschedule our upcoming book discussion of The Grapes of Wrath originally scheduled for this week. The good news is that there is still time to read this Classic. A new date and time will be posted soon. Happy Reading!

I just finished The Catcher in The Rye and really loved it so I came online to discuss it, only to find that so many people disliked and even hated this book. I know Holden is an unlikable and sort of in-the-grey character, but wasn’t that the whole point? He had reasons for his behaviors, and I don’t understand how anyone could ignore those and look at him like he’s nothing more than a two-dimensional annoying character. I’m curious to hear other’s takes on it.

Thoughts? I'm thinking about getting it. I love the movie with Emmy Rossum, but I'm scared it won't have as much romance.

👋 I think you would be a great addition to this group. https://likewise.com/groupinvites/historical_movie__tv_buffs__/byuser/genevieve_5
