Laura’s comments from the Should have read classics group.

I've been wanting to re-read this one for a long time (I barely remember the first time at all) and I finally have time to read along with the group! I picked it up from the library and started reading today, very excited!

I'm about 4 chapters in now, I really enjoy Lord Henry and Basil's relationship, it seems very Holmes and Watson like. I also find it interesting how fascinated the men are with each other, maybe it's just because I've been far out of the habit of reading classics but it's very interesting and amusing to me how very preoccupied they are with each other rather than women or current events. I've been reading a free version on a kindle app on my phone during lunch breaks, can't wait to read more tomorrow!

Hi, I'm Laura currently living in Pittsburgh PA. I have an insatiable thirst for reading and thankfully this past year found myself having more time to do it for myself after I graduated from UPitt. I was excited to find this group because I feel like there are about a million classic books I wish I had read earlier. I'm looking forward to getting into A Christmas Carol next month :)

Game of thrones was done so well! I watched on TV before picking up the books but there was very little to learn from the books that you didn't see in the show, everything was done perfectly with only a few hints at meaning that you can only get from written word. I highly suggest watching!
