Hello all!  It has been quite a while since I have been on here.  Over a year, in fact! Much has taken place since then.  I have spent a long while with a mixture of reading some light fiction to even not reading at all for a few months.  But I have come around full circle and began to read some classics a few months ago.  I started by trying to participate in  a book club rather than hosting one.  We read the Count of Monte Cristo by Dumas and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Twain both of which were great.  I lost interest around Robinson Crusoe and Uncle Tom's Cabin and stopped reading for a while.  I did feel the book club, much like my own book club, was managed intermittently.  The host seemed to be in school and I am fully aware how difficult a book club can be while doing other work so I hold no fault with the host.  Since then I have read Tristan and Iseult by unknown and Red Badge of Courage By Stephen Crane.  I find it is much easier to do these things in the fall when its slow for me,
