About review language:
- For books that are translated into Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian language): the review will be written in Bahasa since I want to promote classic literature reading in Indonesia. I will also provide a short conclusion in English for international readers.
- For books in English: the review will be written in English.
Hi! I wanted to drop by and welcome you to the club! Your list is amazing! I tried to click through to read some of your latest posts (like the one on Pride & Prejudice), but I can’t read Indonesian, and for some reason Google translate isn’t working. Which doesn’t matter since you’re not promoting literature to me. But just to say I tried. 🙂
Best wishes to you, and welcome aboard. 😀

Hi Jillian, thanks for dropping by and trying to read my reviews 🙂
I have been a fan of classics ever since and I think this project is an awesome way to promote classics reading. And there’s already plenty of titles of classics that has been translated into Indonesian here, which is a good good thing 😀
Thanks for hosting this project!

Nice list. We share some books on our lists too. And I am also working on the Bible. I want to finish it, you know, at least once in my life.
I like seeing Sherlock Holmes, Oscar WIlde, Dickens, and Dumas (both of them) there.
Enjoy your reading.

Hey, I just joined and just finalised my list 😉 Anne of Green Gables & North and South are a couple of my faves ever! I hope you like them too.
We’ve got a number of similar books and I am also daunted by War & Peace!
I’ve been entertaining the idea of hosting a Les Miserables read-along seeing the new adaptation to come this Dec. Thinking of starting mid Sept and to finish just before the movie is being released. I’ll be doing a post next month, if you’d like to join 😀
Will you be reading in Indo / English?

Welcome! Les Mis is one of my favorite classics ever, and maybe I will join the readalong (I can’t decide yet) 😀 I only own a copy in Indo and I don’t have an ebook reader yet. I do want to read the unabridged version of it in English, but I’m intimidated with its thickness.. hehehe
