the classics club discussion

If you have any suggestions for our February book of the month, post them here!

How about The Picture of Dorian Gray?

omg i love that book, second it!

since february has valentines day, i was wondering if we should read classics with themes of romance and tragedy? how about "Tender is the Night"?

Or if we’re doing a Valentine’s theme, then maybe Romeo and Juliet or Gone with the Wind though I might start the brothers Karamazov so I am not ready for those two chunky babies at the same time 😂

the valentine's theme is a great idea! and also, like last time, please second any suggestions you agree with so we can narrow it down to just a few options for the poll

yayy!!

ohh, i haven't read Tender is the Night yet! I think it's a good choice so i second that idea. Gone with the Wind is a great one too

Here are my suggestions:

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

Agnes Grey

The Professor

The Return of the Native

Under The Greenwood Tree

White Nights

And I second Tender is the Night 😁

I second the professor and tender is the night

i have another suggestion, it's a short read by dostoevesky called "White Nights" — fits perfectly for valentines day

I second anything Dostoyevsky! Haven’t read white nights yet but I love his works!

someone on yt said that they didn't "know" love until this book so i REALLY wanna know which drug he put in there

omg that sounds phenomenal!
I've also suggested white nights already!!

omg rina i'm so sorry i didn't see

Same! I didn’t see that either, Rina… 😕

np np ;)
I think Dostoyevksy has a good chance of winning 🤭

I suggest "Sense and sensibility", "The darling" or "Anne karenina" if we are going for some kind of romance :)

The Darling was written by whom? Never heard of the title before 😁

It was written by Anton Chekhov ! It is not really romance though i believe, but a story about a woman that needs love and affection to survive.

ohhh, i cast my vote for White Nights too🖐

sounds really good! coincidentally I've read my first three short stories by Chekhov this month and really enjoyed them, I want to read more of his works.

The poll is still open right now so you can still vote if you want to!
