Classics

[close] "It reminded me of _____ but in space." "I read _____ in high school, and it was the only book I actually liked." "It's like a cross between _____ and _____ with a little Harry Potter thrown in." "YOU'VE NEVER READ _____?!?!!?" You know the drill. Your friends reference it, your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/"sort of thing?" raves about it, even your favorite movies quote it, or it IS your favorite movie but you've never read the book. This book club is for those of us for whom, if you're anything like me, one of the following may apply... - we have finally developed a taste for reading and are severely behind on the classics; - we kindaaa, sortaaa, but actually slept through English class in high school and used Sparknotes/Hollywood remakes to supplement our book reports; - we buy a book that everyone is talking about and it just sits on our shelf, and sits there... and sits there; - we've heard the hype and are finally getting around to reading the actual book; - we want to expand our horizons beyond the single genre we usually read and want to do so with some time-tested material; - we just plain old want to get everyone off our backs for not having read _____. Every month we'll choose two books to read: 1) a classic (that everyone has probably read but us) 2) a "modern" classic or just a really popular book that is likely already on our to-read list but we haven't gotten around to it yet. Even if you've already read these books, re-readers are HIGHLY encouraged to help the rest of us amateurs navigate the best (or worst) of the best-sellers. Come one, come all!
