October Book Discussion: Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery

CaissaCaissa Shipmate
I have a confession to make: I have never read Anne of Green Gables. I have never watched an episode of an Anne TV series and I have never watched an Anne movie. I never visited an Anne tourist location nor seen.

Despite living in New Brunswick (attached to PEI by a fixed link), having a sister who is an Anne fanatic and knowing an actor from some Anne movie(s) (Genevieve Appleton).

About a year ago, I found a century old edition of Anne of Green Gables. It ahs been sitting in my to be read piles. I though facilitating a discussion of Anne on the Ship would be exactly the reason I needed to read it. Whether it is your first time reading it or your fifty-first, please, join me in reading the Maritime Canada classic.

  • I know I have a copy, pretty sure it's here. Failing that I saw a stack with several Anne books in this afternoon in the parental attics, so can go collect next week.

    I will reread if I get a chance but will join in the discussion even if I don't, since in my earlier years I reread this book almost often enough to commit it to memory.

    Oo, yes, I'm in for this one. *takes book off shelf and heads for bed*

    I've read this book loads of times and its one of my all time favourite comfort reads so I'll be joining in.

    I reread it recently after a certain controversial remake on Netflix, which will probably come up in discussion!
  • MiliMili Shipmate
    This is a comfort read for me too. I started reading yesterday and already read 9 chapters. I also like the 1980s TV adaption, but not the new one which I only watched a few episodes of.

    I saw the 1970s BBC version, which I loved, and which seems to have been lost (the BBC used to wipe the tapes of a lot of series).
