Beth-In-UK | 10 comments Hello, I joined from the Jane Austen discussion group. She is probably the classical author I read most these days. I read perhaps the most famous ones when I was younger, but have got lazy over the years. Maybe I should re-read some of the classics - or even read some of the ones I've never read at all!

Florence, how extraordinarily brave to be learning Mandarin! That must be a huge challenge. Will you be reading the Chinese classics when you are up to it?!!!!

Beth-In-UK | 10 comments Rose, if you post the link to your group I will take a look, but I strongly suspect that it's way out of my league - I'm not a very adventurous person. :)

Beth-In-UK, have you read 'David Copperfield' by Charles Dickens? Charles Dickens is a brilliant author and his work is very descriptive but I personally prefer Jane Austen, as she has more humour.

Beth-In-UK | 10 comments Hi - I've put a comment on David C on that thread! I'm not a big Dickens fan myself - his books are very long, and often so, so sad. What I know is mostly from seeing the film and TV adaptations.

Henry J (buggingme) | 6 comments I'm Henry and I enjoy classic horror novels. I also love old horror movies and comic books, and I have a large collection dedicated to horror literature. Please don't let that keep you from striking up a conversation, though! I'm always happy to have the opportunity to speak with someone else who is interested in the genre.

I love classics too, but am not really into horror classics. Maybe that is because I have not really read any. However, if a book is well- written makes up for the fact that it may not be your favourite genre, in my opinion. Anyway, welcome to the group, Henry!

Henry J (buggingme) | 6 comments Of course! While horror is my favorite genre among classic novels, they are just one part of a broad category of spectacular books. Classics are, after all, genre-defining novels, and thus, are an important part of literary history.

I completely agree.
