Classics

[close] We read and discuss one short story a week. Authors are welcome, but it's NOT a group to promote one's own work. To join, please answer the question you will see if using a browser. Private profiles that don't will be refused, as we want to get to know each other. You can drop in and out at any point, but we hope you enjoy participating in current - and even past - discussions.

[close] For people who love books, and the craft behind them.

[close] Goodreads – The Filipino Group (GR-TFG) GR-TFG is a community of Filipino book lovers who enjoy reading, sharing ideas, and connecting with fellow readers. Established online in 2009, the group began holding monthly face-to-face (F2F) book discussions in 2012. Our members come from different ages and backgrounds, united by our love for books, meaningful conversations, and making new friends. Whether you enjoy romance, chick lit, science fiction, fantasy, young adult, classics, or literary fiction, you are welcome to join us! If you love reading and talking about books, we’d love to meet you. Drop by, say hello, and join one of our F2F meet-ups. You might just find your next favorite book—or a kindred spirit! :)

[close] Click HERE for the latest group announcements. "It reminded me of ____ but in space." "I read ____ in high school, and actually liked it." "It's like a cross between ____ and ____ with a little Harry Potter thrown in." "YOU'VE NEVER READ ____?!?" You know the drill. Your friends reference it, your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/"sort of thing?" raves about it, even your favorite movies quote it, or it IS your favorite movie but you've never read the book. This group is for those of us for whom one of the following may apply... - we have finally developed a taste for reading and are severely behind on classics; - we kindaaa, sortaaa, but actually slept through English class in high school and used Sparknotes/Hollywood remakes to write our book reports; - we buy a book that everyone is talking about and it sits on our shelf, and sits there... and sits there; - we've heard the hype and are finally getting around to reading the actual book; - we want to expand our horizons beyond the single genre we usually read and want to do so with some time-tested material; - we just plain old want to get everyone off our backs for not having read _____. Every month we'll choose three books to read: 1) a classic (that everyone has probably read but us), 2) a "modern" classic or popular book that everyone is talking about, and 3) a bookshelf catch-up in which we choose a book the group has already read to catch-up with other members.
