Most Read This Week In Fiction

[close] The world is made up of two kinds of people: first, those who love classics, and second, those who have not yet read a classic. Be bold and join us as we tackle reading and discussing the classics. New Classics, Old Classics, Long and Short Classics, and some that 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 at "Catching up on the Classics," we primarily focus on works written in English, but don't neglect quality translations of classics that were written in other languages. Here you will find members from around the world who are interested and supportive about reading traditional classics, so don’t delay. Join today.

[close] Welcome to The Open Book Reading Circle, a friendly place for people who simply love books. We read across genres, swap recommendations, talk about the stories that stay with us, and make room for different opinions. You don't have to be an expert reader, read every month, or stick to one particular genre. Bring the book you're enjoying and join the conversation. Each month, we'll have a new reading challenge to give members something fun to explore. Some challenges may take us into a genre we rarely read, introduce us to a new author, send us back to a classic, or simply encourage us to pick up that book that's been sitting on the shelf for too long. You'll also find: • Monthly reading challenges • Book-of-the-month conversations • Genre discussions • Reader recommendations • Reading updates and check-ins • Polls and community questions • Author and book conversations when they naturally fit the discussion This is a reader-first community. We welcome authors and publishing professionals too, but the heart of the group is conversation, discovery, and a genuine love of books. There is no pressure to finish every challenge and no expectation that members agree about every book. A thoughtful "I loved it" and a thoughtful "it wasn't for me" are both welcome. Come as you are, bring your current read, and let's see where the next page takes us. Read widely. Talk openly. Discover something new.

[close] Everyone is welcome to join the discussion and share their thoughts on quality books and talented authors. It’s always enjoyable to discover new stories, exchange opinions, and talk about books with fellow readers!
