Far From the Madding Crowd | Thomas Hardy

Apologies for the rubbish pic! My daughter has become obsessed with Hardy after reading Jude on holiday - just found this in local charity shop. It's lovely and illustrated 😀

DGRachel 😍😍😍 7y

batsy Looks like a lovely but hefty edition! Hardy is a #classicsTBR Someday 🙌 7y

JacqMac Beautiful! I love Hardy, too. 7y

quirkyreader Next thing you know she will want to read everything by Hardy in chronological order and see all of the film/TV adaptations. 7y

TrishB @quirkyreader and then she'll want to be on Litsy!! 7y

Leftcoastzen Nice find! 7y

LeahBergen Oh, it's lovely! 7y

Vansa I LOVE this book. Gabriel Oak has always been my favourite literary hero. Apart from Mr.Thornton!! Some of his most evocative writing , in my opinion. 7y

Crime and Punishment. Fyodor Dostoyevsky (Revised) | Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Two classics currently are languishing on my TBR. One from 2010 and one from 2006. Yikes. I should get reading.

North and South: Easyread Edition | Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell

I'm late on the #junebookbugs 😬 but this is my #classicsTBR. I watched the miniseries and I'm so intrigued by the politics of it. Is it pro-worker or pro-capitalist overlord? Like the heroine I ended up falling for the industrial boss in spite of myself. @RealLifeReading

MJSanty I think that it is about a respect and cooperation between labor and capital. Like in the film Metropolis. 8y

Caroline2 I love this mini series sooo much! Richard armitage is brilliant in it! 😍 8y

alisahar @MJSanty that sounds about right. I'd be interested to see how the book is different. @Caroline2 I loved it / Armitage too! 8y

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn | Betty Smith

#JuneBookBugs #ClassicsTBR
I have had quite the stack of classics on my TBR list for a while. I hope to finish these ones this year. I don't expect that I will find all of them to be great. Some may even be frustrating to read. Of all of them A Tree Grows In Brooklyn is the one that I am the most excited to read.

alisahar I LOVE Tree Grows in Brooklyn! Now I want to reread it. 8y

Dombey & Son | Charles Dickens

#junebookbugs #classicsTBR Just a few I own and am yet to read. The two in the middle which are hard to make out are Dombey and Son by Charles Dickens, and Shirley by Charlotte Bronte.

Moby-Dick | Herman Melville

#JuneBookBugs #day23 #ClassicsTBR While I have read some of the classics on this shelf (Wizard Of Oz, Dracula, The Secret Garden etc) most will be first time reads for me. I'm slowly collecting the ones I want to read, dymocks have a 3for$33 on penguin classics right now, but there's a lot I still want and choosing which edition is the hardest! I want Rebecca by Daphne DuMarier but do I splurge on the Folio or get the WordCloud edition?🤔

RealLifeReading, Litsy

charl08 Pretty shelf! 8y

Gillyreads It's so hard to decide what editions to get for classics! 8y

minkyb That is s very tough question! 8y

elkeOriginal I anm not sure there is a Rebecca in a word cloud edition - have you seen it? I would say the Folio is gorgeous but I don't consider those reading editions. But I am a weirdo who wants to keep books pristine 😁 7y

#junebookbugs day 23 - #classicstbr

Have dipped into Russian literature here and there, but never anything like what you think when you hear "russian novel." Got a great deal on these like-new Wordsworth editions, translations that came recommended specifically.

A bit late posting this one; I finally folded and got an XBox 360 controller to play Steam games. Even old titles feel new now. Like I didn't have enough distracting me from reading.

GatheringBooks i own copies of both books but haven't cracked them open yet - hopefully I get to do it within my lifetime. (edited) 8y

Jess7 Excellent book. 8y

readordierachel @Jess7 That's what I hear! 8y

kspenmoll I have been thinking of rereading this as I read it long ago- a book of my dad's, was fairly young when I read it. 8y

readordierachel @kspenmoll I know the general story but I've had it for *years* and haven't actually read it yet. Did you like it? 8y

kspenmoll I did, very much & I was young. 7y
