Classics Bookclub — wrap up!

November 30, 2010 by Jennifer

Classics Bookclub

Last December we announced the New Classics Bookclub. Instead of selecting a book each month and reading it together, we invited you to keep reading classics, but at your own pace — 1 or 2 a quarter, 1 a month, or whatever you chose. You made a plan and linked up your initial reviews.

At the end of the first quarter, quite a few of of you linked up some reviews of books you had read.

In the 2nd quarter, Lisa reviewed a children’s classic she read using Nintendo’s 100 Classic Books program that all of the contributors got to try out, and again, quite a few of you linked up your own reviews.

In the 3rd quarter, knowing that I myself had lagged behind on my goal of reading 1 classic a quarter, I asked “How are you doing?” You all linked up once again, proving that you were doing better than I was!

And now we come to the last quarterly linkup. In addition to your reviews from this last quarter, I’d love to see a wrap-up post reflecting on what reading the classics has meant to you. I hope that if you enjoy classics, you’ll go back and revisit some of the linked reviews to give yourself some ideas of where to go next, but this is the end of the Classics Bookclub. We are paring down our Tuesday linkups so that we can focus on reviews.

    This is my first time to join in the Classics Bookclub. I’m sadly lacking in the classic genre, so this was a little stretch for me. I chose The Screwtape Letters. I plan to try again next quarter.

    Where have the months gone?!?! I’ll have to go back and scour my archives to see if I have a link-worthy review this time. I’ll admit that I forgot about this one in all of my busy-ness. Thanks for the motivation, all the same!

    I am really going to miss the Classics Bookclub! I love the classics, and this helped me purpose to include them in my reading: discussing them with others enhanced the enjoyment. Thanks for giving us this opportunity.

    Well, I will look forward to any up-and-coming announcements as to your Tuesday plans then!

    Any chance you might continue this in 2011? I’d love to join!

    Well, I pretty much failed in the book-blogging department this last quarter of the year. But I did read Mere Christianity and The Moonstone!
