Welcome to Litsy!

I was listening to this for the #ClassicLSFBC but I was only able to make it through the first third of the book and I couldn‘t go any further. Michael York is a fabulous narrator, so if you want to listen to this in audio format, find a copy of the 75th Anniversary edition. I look forward to the discussion at the end of the month.

I‘ve been looking forward to this one for #2026Reads. Thanks @RamsFan for lining this up for #ClassicLSFBC, I've been meaning to read it for a few years but I never got around to it. I‘ve read the first 2 chapters and just want to say: ‘Oh Ford'.

This is also one of 111 books for #192030, 1932 prompt.

Happy New Year Everyone, and welcome back to #ClassicLSFBC for 2026. We only had two selections for January, we will have them as our selections for January and February, to give everyone time to find the novels. January's selection will be Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, and February's selection will be A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr. These books should be available at most libraries or book stores.

These are the first set of books I'll read in 2026:

Argonautika is one of the two books this month for #StorySpins
Brave New World, first sci-fi book of the year that I've always been meaning to read #ClassicLSFBC
Hannibal Rising, first book of my Long Reads Workout part of the #3BookChallenge2026
The Chocolate Box, (loved the title) first short story for #26Shorts2026
War Music, along with these is one of the books I am reading for #2026Reads

Hi everybody!! I hope everyone had a great Christmas, got lots of books and book related gifts. So, we're restarting #ClassicLSFBC for 2026, and it's time to ask for books to be nominated. It will go from now until Dec. 31st and I'll announce the first #ClassicLSFBC 2026 selection on Jan. 1st. Since it's a new year, and maybe a new world, my selection is Huxley's Brave New World. I read it in high school some 40 years ago

Hi everyone!! I'm very sorry that I've dropped the ball the last two months with the #ClassicLSFBC. Between work and some recent health issues, I haven't been on Litsy as much as I'd like and things got away from me. Unless someone else wants to take over, I figured we'd let the book club pause the rest of 2025, and start anew in January. Let me know what's the general consensus. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving (a little early)

This is sad, beautiful, funny, warming as it is unsettling. And in the midst of all this there is wonderful imagery like this:

“There were so many things a tree could do: add color, provide shade, drop fruit, or become a children‘s playground, a whole sky universe to climb and hang from; an architecture of food and pleasure, that was a tree.”
