I blushed so badly when I read your kind words. A long-lost friend, wow! Sorry if I'm being a bit incoherent right now.<br /><br />I love most of those bloggers you mentioned as well, although there are a few new ones which I'm definitely going to check out. I recently discovered Jill's blog and it is wonderful, I love it so much., as I do your blog of course :). I love both of your projects and I am seriously considering making my own reading list and following the example of both of you. But I might not be able to stick to it as you both seem to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-31029245210933957732010-10-19T15:06:20.585-04:002010-10-19T15:06:20.585-04:00Here are a couple which I really like -

You've listed some of my absolute favorites, but I'll have to check out Jillian, Pam and The Literate Man. <br /><br />Just so you know, you were one of the first book blogs I discovered and loved when I started blogging. I've always been addicted to reading classics, but some of them can be daunting. Your journey through 250 of them inspires me and I always can't wait to see what you'll read next!Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-13868707315918918352010-10-18T07:20:28.445-04:002010-10-18T07:20:28.445-04:00Amanda *is* great!

Who cares that, if I go away for a weekend, I have over 700 posts to catch up on. I need more!

I feel a strong kinship with...Aw, thank you, Allie! I feel a strong kinship with you, too. Your blog is just my style; I love reading it and don't always comment, either, but I never miss it. No worries at all on that from me. Blogging, to me, feels like sitting in a room with fellow book lovers, chatting now and then on our progress. Sometimes we feel like contributing; sometimes we feel like just sitting quietly and listening. I value the company in either format and feel very good knowing you're in the room. :-)<br /><br />I'm going to check out the blogs you and others recommended! I'm afraid I don't know many lit blogs at this point. I've been blogging for about a year, but I originally hosted a writing blog and only tossed up a review now and then. I quickly realized I loved the literature posts most, and writing the 'writer' posts felt too much like marketing. (I'm fairly shy and private, so marketing doesn't sit well with me.) <br /><br />I ended up shutting down the other blog and opening my new one only a few weeks ago, where I focus on literature and write only for myself. I've been much happier since then. :-)<br /><br />Anyway, most of the blogs I followed up to that point were writing blogs.<br /><br />I have found a few lit blogs so far:<br /><br />http://deadwhiteguyslit.blogspot.com (snarky! makes me laugh!)<br /><br />http://eclectic-indulgence.blogspot.com (a male blogger reads the classics; leaves very insightful comments when he visits)<br /><br />http://www.englishmajorjunkfood.com (a fellow college student reviews the books she WANTS to read outside her English major)<br /><br />http://www.lovelaughterinsanity.com (reads lots of classics; very warm personality)<br /><br />http://lifetimereadingplan.blogspot.com (this blog will begin in january and cover LOTS of oldies)<br /><br />http://thefriande.wordpress.com (a skeptic blogs the classics with ATTITUDE) :-)<br /><br />http://vsudia.wordpress.com (blogs a classic a week)<br /><br />Hope that gives you something new. :-)<br /><br />- Jill*ೃ༄ Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139487177036647728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-81156606229732009792010-10-17T18:46:35.720-04:002010-10-17T18:46:35.720-04:00I follow about half of those already but I'll ...I follow about half of those already but I'll make sure to check out the others :) <br /><br />I'd definitely be flattered if you checked out my blog though!<br /><br />inthenextroom.blogspot.comZoëhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05485997747361791052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-85196026131245233382010-10-17T18:10:15.518-04:002010-10-17T18:10:15.518-04:00First off, I want to thank you for your kind words...First off, I want to thank you for your kind words, especially as I'm embarking right now on a break!!<br /><br />Second, I love nearly every blog you put up here. It's like you took my favorites and listed them. There are two I don't recognize (Literate Man and Literary Amnesiac) but I'm definitely going to check them out.<br /><br />Third, I have a couple classics-related blogs to suggest if you're open to suggestions. <br /><br />My friend Karen writes about classics at Books and Chocolate (http://karensbooksandchocolate.blogspot.com/). She's an awesome person in real life as well as on the blogs!<br /><br />Then there's Trisha from Eclectic/Eccentric (http://www.eclectic-eccentric.com/) who reviews a great mix of classics - both ancient and newer - and fantasy.<br /><br />Rebecca Reads is the very first book blog I ever found and she always talks about classics: http://reviews.rebeccareid.com/<br /><br />Helen from She Reads Novels (http://shereadsnovels.wordpress.com/) is another classics blog I discovered right around the same time as Jess & Chris's blog. It's lovely.<br /><br />Last, another couple who reviews a mix of classics and modern lit, as well as mixing in recipes and travel-related posts: Steph and Tony Investigate at http://www.stephandtonyinvestigate.com/<br /><br />Enjoy! :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-693245545754588402010-10-17T17:52:08.524-04:002010-10-17T17:52:08.524-04:00Awww, thanks for the link! *warm fuzzies* You have...Awww, thanks for the link! *warm fuzzies* You have presented me with several new blogs to check out--they sound great!<br /><br />Here are a few I always enjoy, though I'm afraid they don't all concentrate on classics as much as you might like:<br /><br /><a href="http://baja-greenawalts-cozybooknook.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Mrs. BG</a>: a fun group of lighthearted ladies discussing books and various book-related topics.<br /><br /><a href="http://brideofthebookgod.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">Bride of the Book God</a>: This is The Bride's book blog, but she also has a movie blog that I enjoy.<br /><br /><a href="http://coffeeandabookchick.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Natalie, the Book Chick</a>: I first found her blog when she posted about her father competing in the Ernest Hemingway lookalike contest!<br /><br /><a href="http://kateslibrary.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Kate</a> is re-reading the Harry Potter series right now.<br /><br /><a href="http://kristilovesbooks.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Kristi's blog</a> is relatively new. She is an American living in Scotland with her young family. <br /><br /><br />Finally, here are<a href="http://thenewdorkreviewofbooks.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Greg</a>, <br /><a href="http://thereadingape.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Ape</a>, and<br /><a href="http://petekarnas.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">Pete</a><br />to satisfy your craving for male book bloggers ;)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15867744753830511111noreply@blogger.com
