Currently reading Moby Dick. I read it years ago…didn’t like it. I am enjoying it more this time, but I still feel Melville goes into too many details of too many trivialities. I think the STORY is a marvelous story, but suffers somewhat in the telling.

Hi. I have finished my Classics Club #7 book selection: One Hundred Years of Solitude. My review is more a review of my reading experience than of the book itself.

My classics reading is losing out to New Books right now…neither William Hazlitt or Arnold Bennett, two of my fav authors, would approve.

The book I’m currently reading isn’t a classic (but maybe it will be someday since the author is a nobel prize winner). I’m reading Big Breasts and Wide Hips by Mo Yan

Love Katherine. One of the most romantic reads in the world! Anya Seton is a very neglected author I fear!

I so agree with you!!! As I read through this book, I am more and more convinced that Katherine is one of the most underated novels of all time.

Hi, Classics Club, thanks for the opportunity to share! I’m currently reading Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh. Not sure if this is a “classic” but it is one of the Guardian 1000 best novels, which is the challenge list I follow. It is a tough read for me — not sure if I’m going to make it through. Cheers! Eager to see what others post…..

I love that book! But I had to read it in my native language since scottish was simply impossible to read

I bet it was impossible, even with English being my native language, I have to stop and sound the sentence out loud — that way I can usually understand. Thanks for the reply! L.
