Classics

[close] This is a group for discerning readers looking to discover, explore, and critically discuss some of the World’s literature, with a primary emphasis on the great books, short stories and poetry of the early-18th century to the early-20th century. You can expect to find intelligent discussions associated with literary periods and movements; major and minor authors and their works; and potential connections and relationships with other artistic movements and periods (e.g., music, visual arts, architecture, etc.).We encourage participants to bring their intellectual curiosity and a willingness to share their knowledge and engage in critical thinking and discussion. This group is intended to be a safe, comfortable, yet stimulating haven for those looking to learn more and share their love for some of the World’s great literature.

[close] Everyone is welcome, this is a book club for all genres! For those of us who like to read everything!

[close] Are you a fan of classic literature? Film? Is Turner Classic Movies one of your favorite channels? If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, The Great Movie Read is for you. What: Reading and watching all 52 titles from Kristen Lopez’s book “But Have You Read the Book?” Who: You and me. Probably just me, and I’m okay with that. When: Each title will have a posted challenge with dates, details, and the most cost effective way to find each title. Where: On Goodreads! Participate based on your interest of each title, or join me for the long haul. Maybe you only want to read the book. Or just watch the movie. Regardless of what you choose, post your thoughts under each title's discussion . . . what you like, what you don't. Was the book better? Or the movie? Why: This is my giveaway series for 2023/2024! Each month, I will give away a book or a movie. Sometimes on Goodreads. Sometimes a real life drop. (TCM Classic Film Festival, Etc.) Participate to earn book club exclusive bookmarks and stickers. If you’ve made it this far, check out my "The Great Movie Read" blog post for a little bit about me and a deeper explanation.

[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.
