Quest for the Classics discussion

This is my first time reading it, and I'm currently in Chapter 8!

Marie, thanks for joining us! Can't wait to hear what you think about the book! I think we're all planning on watching the mini-series, that's the main reason I picked the book for this month! I can't believe how ambitious you are with both War and Peace and Anna Karenina right now!

Thank you for inviting me to join! I haven't read it yet, but my plans to read it were put back by watching the excellent BBC adaptation (the mini-series) at Christmas. I would encourage you all to watch it when it airs over there because it's brilliant.

I would like to read it though... will have to get through a few other things first :-)

I've read Anna Karenina (I thought it was excellent) but War and Peace is one of those books I've always thought, "I can die happy once I've read War and Peace" - so I'm putting it off indefinitely!! haha!

I have not yet read And Then There Were None, but I'm starting it this weekend. I look forward to the miniseries too!

I did a Goodreads War and Peace reading group last winter and I'm glad to say I finished it (even the weighty epilogues). Highly recommended!

I'm so so excited for the mini-series, I feel like they made us wait forever to tell us when it would be released here! I'm so happy you're joining us for the reading! War and Peace is definitely on my TBR list, but I've been putting it off as well! It's just so intimidating!

I read And Then There Were None a long time ago and remember being creeped out toward the end when people kept dying and I had no idea how it was going to be solved. I did not know Aidan Turner was going to be in the miniseries... I loved him in Poldark! :)

You will like the mini-series. They manage to find an excuse to have him shirtless, fresh from the shower, for about 30 minutes! I laughed! Poor man must start to wonder if people value his acting abilities at all :-)

I read the book towards the end of last year and really enjoyed it. Can't wait to see the series!

Read it a long time ago...will have to see if I still have a copy and can catch up! Loved it then, would happily read it again.

Sara, so glad you're joining us! If you can't find your old copy, I picked up a digital copy on iBooks for $2.99!

I read And Then There Were None years ago! I went through an Agatha Christie phase in high school where I devoured a whole bunch of her books. But it will definitely be fun to read again as an adult. Looking forward to joining you all. When is the miniseries airing?

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to let you know that we'll be posting some discussion topics next Saturday if you want a goal to finish your reading! Hope you're all well and enjoying the book!
