The Classics Circuit is back from vacation! We’re doing a tour next month, and we’d love for you to join in.

The Land of the Rising Sun Meiji-era Tour focuses on literature by Japanese writers that wrote between 1868 and 1912. We have an extensive list of some of those authors on the site. Read some gothic stories by Izumi Kyōka or Natsume Soseki’s psychological novels.

Come read about the era and some of the authors that wrote in Meiji Japan. I hope you decide to sign up for the tour too.

The tour will run from October 25 until November 5.

Sign up by next Friday night.

Sign up is now open for the White Nights on the Neva: Imperial Russian Literature Classics Circuit! Whether you’ve been looking for an excuse to read a Russian classic novel by Dostoyevsky or Tolstoy or you’d like to give some short stories by Chekhov a try, we hope you’ll consider joining the tour. The introduction page lists a few authors you may want to try, and you can consider any 19th century “golden age” Russian author that you’d like.

Sign ups will be open until Friday, May 21 (Chicago time). The tour will begin June 21 and will run for three or four weeks.

NOTE: If you want to sign up for the tour, please visit the sign up page and fill out the form.  Comments have been disabled on this post so there won’t be confusion.

Are you ready to read some Agatha Christie or Dorothy Sayers? What about Dashiell Hammet or Josephine Tey?

Sign up is now open for the upcoming Golden Age of Detective Fiction tour (mid-May through June).

Our April-May visit to Paris continues with a tour of the swashbuckling-adventure novelist Alexandre Dumas! We have an extensive introductory post about the author, with lists and links to reviews about his works. If you don’t know what Dumas has written, this will be a great resource for helping you decide what to read first. The tour will begin Monday, April 19 and will run for three or four weeks, depending on how many people sign up.

If you already know what you want to read and you know when you are available, head on over and sign up now! Sign up will be open until March 12.
