Classics

[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] Hi, I'm Ryleigh (Sassy Cicero), and I run Imperium Romanum, a blog dedicated to the study of classical history and literature. As a lover of both fiction and non-fiction, I often find it difficult to get my head out of one reading space into another, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I've decided to create this group as an inclusive space for all - whether you're a student or an established scholar, an amateur mythologist or a keen political historian, this is the place for you! Engage with your peers around the world with a vast array of interests, get motivated for your next research project with recommendations, and share your favourite non-fiction and fiction reads.

[close] This is a group for reading vintage British mysteries from the Golden Age and beyond, including the British Library Crime Classics series. During 2018-2019 we are reading Ngaio Marsh's Inspector Alleyn mysteries as a group challenge. Previous challenges included the Lord Peter Wimsey and Miss Marple books. We also read and discuss books by many other authors from the era, including 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.
