Classics

[close] This is a group for Booktubers big and small from all over the world to come together to find others that live near by or to just chat about your favourite books and post your recent booktube videos! Cherrie Walker: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfUmv7g-XoG68fYpiahtcuA

[close] Hello, if you have not read a single classic-even children's classics-in your life before but badly want to, then come join me on my new journey. Reading a book is always more fun if we have companions to discuss it with and that is the sole purpose of this group. We'll start from scratch and slowly work our way upwards. But remember, we are not doing this to brag about it or to put an end to the classics shaming we face. We're doing this because we really want to. Because we'll never know whether we like classics or not unless we try reading them. Let's explore. Happy reading :)

[close] September-October 2016 Group Read Life or Death by Michael Robotham -------------------------------------------- Are you curious about the books and authors Stephen King has enjoyed reading in the last 40 years or so? Would you like access to a list of these books and an opportunity to read and discuss them with others? If so, you are at the right place! At this time, the books open for discussion can be viewed by clicking the following link which will direct you to the head moderator's personal bookshelf titled "sai-king-recommends:" sai-king-recommends bookshelf . When available, the moderator has added all reviews and blurbs by Stephen King to her personal review of a book. These books have been accumulated by referring to Entertainment Weekly's Pop of King columns, book blurbs, the internet, and Stephen King's non-fiction books Danse Macabre, On Writing, and Secret Windows. The list is still growing. -------------------------------------------- Your Moderators Debra and Almeta

[close] Welcome to the Roundtable Our passions include literary fiction, the classics, and serious non-fiction. In 2016 we've planned structured reads in the following categories: Classics, Genre, Nonfiction, Recently published (<5 years) fiction, Literary Prize, Door Stops (more than 700pp), short stories, and various surprise themes. You can also sign on for one or both of our two yearly reading challenges or participate in our Around The World exploration of books from South America, Africa, Asia and Oceania. The fine print: We're a smallish group, but active, and we'd like to have actively participating members. If you've been a member for more than four months without participating, we will assume that you are not interested in the group and you will be subject to deletion (one post after acceptance into the group is not considered active). This may take the form of participation in one of the structured features described above or something more free-form. While we've all got our guilty pleasures -- vampires in love, celebrity gossip, books from our childhoods -- these books don't fit with the group's vision and purpose. It's strictly "quality" writing for an adult audience; for us this means literary fiction, the classics, and serious non-fiction. We like to see a diversity of opinions about what we read and a strong passion for books is a plus. However, we ask that our group members keep it about the books; be respectful of others and refrain from the ad hominem. Finally, you'll see that we're a private group and you'll need to "apply" to join us. This means that we'd like to see a word from you about why you'd like to join and what you're hoping to get from a group. It also helps if we can see your shelves and your profile. If your profile is set to private, you will not be approved for membership in the group.
