I’m going to read To Kill a Mockingbird and Pride and Predjudice for the first time EVER!! Better late than never, please don’t judge me😂
Pride and Prejudice is great (but Emma is my favorite Austen novel),
Enjoy 👍
I re read Persuasion and Mansfield Park recently after a long time away from Austen, and enjoyed them, but I need to go back to P & P soon. Probably my favourite Austen, as obvious and unoriginal a choice as that may be…
Not into anything by Austen but loved To Kill A Mockingbird
Same here 🙂
To Kill A Mockingbird is my favourite novel! Honestly, you’ll love it, it is amazingggg
Never too late! Enjoy.
To Kill a Mockingbird is a masterpiece. Enjoy!
And yes, we are judging you for that😂
I know! Lol
I’ve read Pride and Prejudice for my English literature class back in high school, but never read To Kill a Mockingbird. I always remind myself to go and get the book out of the library, but due to other interests, I never pick the book up. I’ll have to write it down and get the librarian to find the book so I could add it to my pile of books to take out because I always forget!
My whole mission is to go back and pick up the classics I missed. You go!
@Ann agreed!
I had a health scare a couple years ago and even though I’m an avid reader I realized how many of the classics I missed. Since then I’ve been reading from a “top 100” list.
@Christopher that’s a rough incentive. I hope all is well now, and you can read just for the pleasure of it.
@Donna yes, so far so good. I do find immense pleasure from the classics but I do find myself trying to read too fast. I also found I’m not taking anytime between novels which doesn’t allow for reflection. Something to work on this year. 🙂
@Christopher A good reminder for all of us speed readers!
I read 5 books in January. Four fiction (including a Russian novel) and one non-fiction. Really need to slow down. They have somewhat jumbled together in my head.
@Christopher , what list are you following? I do that a little, but at some point want to make a conscious project of ticking off a formal list.
@Christopher I wish you well 🙏
Ann Bieneman the list I follow is an amalgamation of about 8 different list comprised by Joel Patrick at https://medium.com/ It is called “100 books to read before you die: creating the Ultimate list-medium.” Of course a number of books I read that I believe should be included are not on the list but I found it to be the most comprehensive.
I read both last year. Enjoy!!
To Kill A Mockingbird is my favorite book of all. It’s a life changing book. Enjoy
discovering a book every day is good
I only read them for the first time last year.
I just read Sense and Sensibility for the first time recently.
I just finished that one last week for the first time🙂
I’ve never read to kill a mockingbird. I didn’t like the movie so I never read the book :/
@Sharon not seen the film but I rate the book
I judge you to be; reading. Good work!
I recently read To Kill A Mockingbird. It’s up there with my favourites. Enjoy!
I read The Mockingbird just a couple of years ago and It was so good. I am sure if I had read it earlier, I would not have appreciated it so much… This said, still gearing up for Pride … not my style, maybe need to grow up a bit more 😂
@Natalia I’m not really a romance reader, I think that’s why I have never been drawn to reading Jane Austen. However, I loved the movie Sense and Sensibility
@Stacey oh I am so no romance reader as well ;-)))) I could not even bring myself to read a comics version of the book 🙂. Romance marble is missing… maybe I should try a movie. Thanx!
To Kill a Mockingbird is a great read enjoy!
@Stacey her writing is really quite funny in a way that is difficult to portray on screen.
Wonderful!!
loved to kill a mockingbird could not get through pride and prejudice
Prepare yourself to fall in love.
Pride and prejudice is definitely one of my favorites books ever! It’s the first classic book I actually enjoyed reading…
I have still never read To Kill a Mockingbird, though it’s on my endless TBR pile.
