Classics

[close] Want to read the classics in mystery, horror, science fiction, fantasy, westerns, thrillers, sensation, and maybe even romance? You have found your people.

[close] We're here because we like reading and we like chatting about reading. But we are here especially because we strongly believe that reading is not just something we do alone, but something that can unite people of different kinds, all over the world! This group really is all about books! In terms of group reads we have a monthly fiction book and a bi-monthly group read of a classic. We feature dedicated sections for non-fiction, poetry, short stories and drama. We also have weekly poetry postings (the Monday Poem). Quarterly there is a group discussion of non-fiction books in which members are encouraged to read books that relate to a specific theme and another theme for short stories. We feature a yearly challenge which varies from year to year in form. In addition, we have a section for people to post their yearly personal challenges and books read during the year.

[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] Greetings all! Victober is a month-long readathon hosted each October all about reading Victorian literature. We have five challenges each year, which will be announced in due course. We'll also be doing a group readalong, which will be announced later. This Goodreads group is here to give everyone a chance to chat to other people taking part, share their TBRs, videos, current reads, etc. For the purposes of this readathon, the definition of Victorian literature is: any book/work of literature written or published by a British or Irish writer, or a writer residing in Britain or Ireland, in the years 1837-1901.
