Classics

[close] This is a group for reading vintage British mysteries from the Golden Age and beyond, including the British Library Crime Classics series. We have a group challenge to read Dorothy L. Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries all through 2016. We also hope to read books by other famous authors from the era, like Agatha Christie and Margery Allingham - and will include a few from other countries.

[close] The world is made up of two kinds of people, first are those who love classics, the second are those who have not yet read a classic. Be bold and join us as we tackle the classics, New & Old Classics, Long & Short Classics and some that just exhibit potential to become a classic. If you are part of the second group of people, the classic you can love for a lifetime is just pages away. Here in this group you will find members from around the world that are interested and supportive about reading classics, so don’t delay, join today.

[close] You don’t have to be an English or Literature Major to enjoy great books! We want people to read for the fun of it and not worry about feeling they need to be "smart." We will be reading both traditional, and more modern classic novels. Please feel free to openly discuss any aspects of the books that we read in the forums, and remember that we're reading these books for FUN! So pour yourself a yummy beverage and let's discuss these books like we're sitting with a bunch of friends! We all vote on what book to read next and we read in a three month rotation (Pre-1910, 1910-1959, 1960-2004), so please visit our polls to help us select our next book https://www.goodreads.com/poll/list/78394-classics-without-all-the-class?type=group (we pick a book two months ahead in case there is a monster read, people can get started on it early if they desire [Anna Karenina comes to mind....] Our Facebook can be found at the link below. https://www.facebook.com/ClassicsWithoutAllTheClass Our Twitter account is @CWATC_bookclub.
