all these book clubs - anyone want to do a classics one

[Cappuccino]

I don't know how it will work or anything

I'm not the how guy

but there was that thread the other day about classics and I am rereading Sense and Sensibilililililility (not an original choice I'll grant you but still)

and I thought wouldn't it be nice if we reread classics and talked about them, or at least reminded one another what the feck the plot was (it is a Long Time since my English degree)

whaddya think?

Cappuccino, I read that thread too and was inspired - we're going to do a mumsnet favourite classics month for February (ie the next one, after we;ve done Tim Dowling's book this month).

I was going to put together the selection from the most popular ones on that thread - which one do you fancy putting forward?

Oooh Tilly, is this a take-over/merge/acquisitions move? You might get reported to the Monopolies Commission you know.

but there are all these threads where they are reading books

I want to reread lots

not just one

only if you promise NOT to look down your noses at us, biiiitch

oh yes, I'm going to read Vanity Fair next, or maybe Jane Eyre, or Crime and punishment...
haven't quite decided

cappy if you start one, i will tell you how to organise it (learn from my mistakes )

I won't be in it though

trollope?

well tuf cap you are only allowed to read one and that wil be selected by due process pmsl

there's no need to be rude to cappy

That's great Darrell and bundle good to have you on board

now the rest of you, piss orf

oh sorry MamaG you came to my aid

thanks for your kind offer

luv hardy

really bundle? I used to but then I got more and more annoyed at how miserable it all was

I wanted to shout at people in the books

I'm In Capp, altho won't do Hardy, find it all too miserable TBH.

you can read whatever you like dearie

tell us about it

there are no rules here

@ miserable

hadn't really thought about him like that, apart from Jude the Obscure, obviously

oh no I was wrong bundle

Tess has a lovely happy ending

everyone gets married and has cake

@ cake

maybe that could be a theme of the books..

I love hardy too

Blood and thunder Cappie no wonder I missed it the first time - saw book clubs, missed the c word, carried on skimming down list of millions of threads!
