Reading classic English books from across the centuries
Description
Do you enjoy reading classic English literature, from the nineteenth or eighteenth centuries, or from even earlier?
English literature is rich, with great authors from the past, like Jane Austen, and Charles Dickens. It also has its own challenges, because it uses words which we often don't use in everyday conversation, and describes a different age to today.

I am enthusiastic about classic English literature, and would like to hear about your reading, whether you are reading a specific novel or poem, and would like to work through it in a structured way, or whether you would just like to chat in general about old books and what there is to be discovered.
