I Love to Read

Ever since I was young I loved to read. My main areas of interest are historical books and classic novels by such writers as Dickens, Faulkner, Cather and Hemingway. Also poetry. But I must confess I do like a good romance when I find one.

That's highly suspicious! 🤨
Reading books may lead to critical independent thinking, something which is generally frowned upon, and rightfully so! You should watch Netflix TV shows instead. That will keep you busy, and you'll learn a lot about zombies and vampires.

I LOVE classics, especially 18th and 19th century, French, English, and Russian. Dickens is definitely one of my favorites- I'm on my way to owning his entire collection.

@DearAmbellina2113 Dombey and Son is sensational, if you haven't read that one yet.

@Harmonium1923 I haven't!!

@DearAmbellina2113 Trust me on that one! The first two pages will pull you right in. That man knew how to begin a book!
I've been a lifelong reader and lover of poetry. Those are tremendous choices. Rich and full of substance that move the soul.
Nice!

I have all seventeen Dickens novels including Charles Dickens and the Street Children of London, all his works are great for research purposes and of course pure entertainment. But for you I would especially recommend The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough. happy reading.

I took to reading at sixteen.

Hemingway was my favourite then. I seemed to relate to him.

I went through a phase of Iris Murdoch

Have you read War and Peace! It is an amazingly romantic novel. Not a romance novel though.

@RuyLopez a long time ago I should probably reread it with a more mature head

Brilliant writers, all. I've read a lot of Cather over the past few years, and she has become a favorite.
