What we’re about
Hello, fellow readers! If you're like me, there's quite a few classic novels you have to confess you've never read (or want to reread). I want to connect with others who want to delve into these classics without feeling like they have to be literary experts. BTW, exactly what books are "classics"? Check out this list to see the top 100 works of fiction as determined by an aggregate of 80+ lists.
