Classics Clique discussion

Leave your picks here for which classic we should read in June! As usual only books that are mentioned more than once will make it to the poll, so feel free to repeat/agree with suggestions made by others :)

My suggestions are:
Night (set at the height of the Holocaust during WWII, sure to be harrowing)
Persuasion (I need to get to more of Jane Austen's works! This sounds like a fun one)

Persuasion would be great! Or any other Jane Austen would be good too. I’d also like to read Jane Eyre and I’m gonna throw Lolita in again, too :)

All of the Austen 😍

Hi . Since June is going to be busy month, I suggest "Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde :)

Mansfield Park or Jane Eyre!

THE GREAT GATSBY!! :D

I'm so down for Mansfield Park!!

Picture of Dorian Gray or any Austen sounds fab!

June is going to be my month of focusing on reading unread books on my book shelf.

So I'm going to second Picture of Dorian Gray, also throw in Lady Susan (it's the only Austen I haven't read) and the Count of Monte Cristo.

I'm all for Austen. I say either Mansfield Park or Northanger Abbey

Oooh Lady Susan sounds great, I didn't realise she'd written shorter works like that as well! I've been wanting to re-read The Count of Monte Cristo :) Love that one.

I'm so keen for either of these! Haven't read them before :)

Wuthering Heights or Persuasion!

Wuthering Heights is a good idea too, though I think it's more of a winter read...

I'd love to read Wuthering Heights too!

Oooh good to know as it's nearly winter for me at the moment ;)

It would be a good motivation for me to finish Wuthering Heights or Mansfield Park that we previously mentioned, so I'm in! Is there going to be a poll in the group?

Yup! I'll put up a poll around the 15th or 20th of May :)

Lolita or anything by any of the Brontes !

I’m for Jane Austin.
