The Fellowship of the Ring: Being the First Part of The Lord of the Rings | J.R.R. Tolkien

So far, I'm delighted that this book starts out with a history of hobbits. It's very characteristic of someone interested in history and inspired by mythology. #fellowshipoftolkien #fantasyclassic #classicihaventread #readalongs2020 #readalong #groupread

The Fellowship of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings, Part One | J. R. R. Tolkien

I haven't read this book yet (it's been on my list for a while, but I've been putting it off because I expect it to be difficult to focus on). I came across a post that #fellowshipoftolkien is starting a chapter-a-day readalong of it starting Jan 3rd. Maybe now's the time to tackle this one. #groupread #readalong #fantasyclassic #classicIhaventread

Daisey Yes, we would love to have you join us! 5y

Kenyazero @Daisey I very much look forward to it! I'm a slow reader, so I might end up falling behind, but it'll be fun. 5y

Lcsmcat @Aimeesue Me too! But this one is bigger than most of them! 5y

OriginalCyn620 👍🏻📚 5y

TheBookHippie @Lcsmcat Massenet! 5y

Lcsmcat That‘s the one I‘m more familiar with. You‘d think I‘d have read the book by now. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5y

CoffeeNBooks I read this last year, and it was great! 5y

jewright I really want this in a parallel copy, but I haven‘t found one yet. 5y

Lcsmcat @jewright I don‘t read Spanish, so I‘m just hoping it‘s a good translation. 5y

Graywacke One I need to read too. Nice edition! 5y

Lcsmcat @Graywacke Maybe after we work our way through Cather‘s oeuvres we can tackle Cervantes! 5y

Graywacke @Lcsmcat I'm happy to pencil that in for 2020. 5y

Lcsmcat @Graywacke 👍🏻 5y

Walden | Henry David Thoreau

I have, of course, read dozens of quotes and selections from Walden because one can't avoid them, and I even started the thing a few times, but I can't quite get past his self-importance and his neckbeard. Still, I think I ought to read the whole thing someday.

Scochrane26 I read it this summer. You‘re prob better off just reading the important quotes. The rest is about ponds. 5y

OriginalCyn620 Haven‘t read this either! 5y

Crazeedi A note is on it's way to you!😊💞 5y

ImperfectCJ @Scochrane26 I read up to the detailed bit about how awesome he is because he has last season's suit design made for himself. Ponds might actually be more interesting... 5y

ImperfectCJ @Crazeedi Hooray! I need to get on top of my replies! 5y

Day 20 - #ClassicIHaventRead #GratefulReads

I have read 240 books from the 1001 books to read before you die list but I have not read Tolkien yet. I‘m not a fan of fantasy but I think I need to check out this trilogy. I have watched the movies and enjoyed them so reading this book is overdue.

OriginalCyn620, Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I haven‘t read these either!! 5y

EadieB @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks We need a buddy read! 5y

Deifio I've recently started my reread of LotR. The first part of Fellowship kind of drags on a bit. You if you do a buddy read, I think you'll get through it just fine 😉 5y

Iblu @EadieB could you kindly point me to such 1001 books to read before you die list? I might have some catching up to do!!!😅 5y

EadieB @Iblu https://1001bookreviews.com/the-1001-book-list/ (edited) 5y

EadieB @Iblu Goodreads has a list too. You can search for it there. 5y

Iblu Thank you!!!🤗 5y

Anne of Green Gables | L. M. Montgomery

Why did I wait so long to download #serialreader??? I kept seeing posts on it & I am so stoked to try it. Merry early Bookmas to me! I'm starting with a #classicihaventread that almost shattered my long friendship with @thealidoyle . So, I'm fixing the fact that I somehow tragically missed out on Anne's adventures as a kid. Here goes!

Don Quixote | Miguel de Cervantes

Despite Don Quixote being my favourite fictional character, I've never read past the first few chapters..... But I've sat with the Don Quixote statue outside Cervantes' home! Thanks to another #litsy user, I've downloaded the Serial Reader app.

To Kill a Mocking Bird was recommended by mum who read it at school and introduced me to the film last year.

cathysaid I love that there's a forward by Pat Conroy. Unexpected! 8y

Graciouswarriorprincess I am reading it through serial reader. It will only take almost a year!👍🏻 8y

MemoirsForMe @Graciouswarriorprincess you mean it's longer than Les Mis? 8y

Mrskturner This is on my to read list...is it painful to read or interesting but long? 8y

Bookworm83 @Mrskturner A little of both at the same time ? I enjoy the "peace" parts, but it's the "war" parts that are killing me! There are also just a ton of characters to keep track of. 8y

Bookworm83 @Graciouswarriorprincess Serial is the way to go with this one 👍 8y

Graciouswarriorprincess 💕👍 8y

dragondrool Well, I guess if you're diving back in I should move it back up closer to the top of my pile as well. 8y

Bookworm83 @dragondrool Please do! I don't want to be the only one slogging through it! 8y

Did I used to live in Moscow? Did I minor in Russian Lit? Have I read War and Peace? (The answer to one of these questions is a shame filled no) #ClassicIHaventRead

Bookworm83 Twins, indeed! Maybe one of us will make it through this thing. 8y

DHill Likewise. Yes (majored in Russian) Yes! And no. No I have not. One of several Russian classics I have -yet - to read. 😬 8y

quirkyreader The other day at work a copy of the Russian language textbook I used came through. Wow, major flashbacks. 🐸🐙 8y

GlitteryOtters I also answer no to one of those questions (I did not minor in Russian lit 😂😂). While definitely not my favorite Russian classic, I am still glad I read it (and am thinking I am due for a re-read because I think I read it at too young of an age the first time..,I just need to catch up on more of my TBR pile first before diving into such an epic sized reread!') 8y

Vinjii Awesome though. The two things that can be answered with yes 😜👍 8y

Watching the newest movie of this #ClassicIHaventRead with the hubby tonight! Good fun! #SeasonsReadings2016

@RealLifeReading

Abby-J If you have to skip reading classics, the ones with colonialist overtones seem like a good choice to toss out. 😉 8y

MemoirsForMe 😊👍🏻 i really enjoyed the new movie and the Disney classic. Now I must read the book! 8y
