Introduction
I am an avid reader. I've even resorted to reading classics I've found printed online during my breaks at work! I especially love the classics. I attribute my love of classics to my wonderful High School English teacher Ms. Christopher.
What are some of your favorite classic fiction novels?

Ethan Frome, An American Tragedy, A Tale of Two Cities, The Old Man and the Sea, The Stranger, The Good Earth, My Antonia, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Ralph Ellison's The Invisible Man, Frankenstein, Great Expectations, David Copperfield

List the top 5 classics you wish to read for the first time.

Of Mice and Men, The House on Mango Street, Breakfast of Champions, The Metamorphosis, Mrs. Dalloway

Which classic fiction novel have you read most recently?

My Antonia

My Meetup Groups

  •  The group was great! The variety of perspectives was very stimulating. As organizer, I'm more interested in quality than quantity - it seems smaller groups work best so I'm not concerned about the size or growth. If more people come, great! If our group stays the same consistently I will be content with that as well. 

    • The Organizer's Wife

     It was great hanging out with everyone who could attend. I look forward to making guest appearances at other events.

  •  Wow! Ilayna you are a goood reader! I too am an avid reader (a least a book a week). I also do book reviews on my blog: www.myvickierubinson.com. Embarassed to say I haven't read as many classics as you. I will try and make it to your next meeting! BTW....Beautiful Boy is great as is Bad Moon Rising about the 70's "reverend" Sung young Moon. I love bios!

  •  What a great idea for a meetup group! You have read my mind. I fell in love with the classics in high school also. I look forward to reading new classics, as well as re-discovering the ones I have read previously. I can't wait to meet you and the group!

  •  This is the smartest, most dynamic person I've ever met. And I'm not saying that just because I'm married to her. :o) All you book lovers should join her Strictly Classics Books Meetup in LA. She's picking out some good books for everyone to enjoy.
