Hello, Reading Buddies! Well, I’m halfway through A Room with a View by E.M. Forster (spoilers are fair game!) and I’ve yet to take a single note. I love it when I’m so absorbed in a book — and a classic in particular — that note-taking falls by the wayside. The problem, of . . . → Read More: Reading Buddies Discussion: “A Room with a View” by E.M. Forster

Welcome, Reading Buddies! Sorry for the slightly delayed post — I had to finish The Woman in White this morning. That’s not for a lack of interest but a lack of time! I thoroughly enjoyed Collins’s novel and almost never feel like I was reading a stuffy old classic.

Welcome, Woman in White-ers! I hope you’re enjoying Wilkie Collins’ classic as much as I am. I’m about to start chapter 8 of the first section in the second epoch (got all that??), which is just about halfway through. As always, spoilers are fair game here!

In December, as chosen by reader poll, Reading Buddies will be doing The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne!
