Introduce Yourself

[readerz]

My name is Karen. I love all types of books, and I'm trying to incorporate more classics into my reading. I dn't believe I've ever read Defoe before.

Welcome, Karen/readerz!  There's always a first time, so I hope you enjoy this novel and lots more classics coming up in the B&N.com Book Clubs!

I'm Katie, and I hope I'm not too late. I'm currently studying English literature at the graduate level, though my academic interests are American and a little bit later. I've read Robinson Crusoe several times, though not as a child, and Journal of the Plague Year. I'm reading Moll Flanders for the first time.

Hi, Katie--You're not too late!  This club will be active through the end of the month, but the board remains open after that for those who would like to continue the conversation.

Enjoy!

Hi my name is Jackie and I graduated with my Undergraduate degree in English Literature and my Masters Degree in Library Science. I read Moll Flanders first as an undergrad and then again while visiting England. I find the book to be masterfully written and truly enjoyable. I feel that Moll has alot of interesting qualities. I look forward to hearing back and getting into the fun of the story.

Hi I have to agree with you about the BBC Alex Knigston version. What a lusty adaptation. Have seen other that I am not so enthralled with, enjoyed the book more.

Hi I'm new to the whole B&N book clubs and was happy to see that Moll Flanders was listed as a book club discussion. I've never read Defoe before and this is a book that has been on my list for a while now. This is a book that I wanted to try to read this year and as an incentive to do so I added it to my 888 Challenge that I have going on another website. I wasn't sure when I might get to it but now that I know that this group exists I think that I might push it up in the queue so I can discuss it along with everyone else. =)

Hi, Irisheyz77--This club was most active in Feb., 2008, but the book club boards remain open for readers to discuss the books indefinitely.  Just wanted you to know in case you don't see a moderator (I'm moderating other clubs now), or too many members stopping by.  Readers seem to bounce around many of the boards, both older and newer, though, so if you post a question, you just might still see some activity here.
