Bookie Brunch schedule
Now follow me to the third Bookie Brunch meeting for a bit of chit chat at This Miss Loves To Read.

Bookie Brunch Question of the day:
Do you think people only read classics because they are classics or because they are actually enjoyable?

Related topics to consider: Is there a classic that you don't think should be a classic? Why do you think that?
