The Ann Arbor Classics Book Group meets twice monthly (Sundays and Wednesdays) to discuss selections from Boxall's "1001 books you must read before you die". The books that we decide on as a group (via our online poll) are discussed on Sundays, while the Wednesday selections are assigned by the organizer or assistant organizer or nominated by a member. Dues of $1.00 per member are collected at each discussion to help cover site fees and other various costs. Occasionally, we will have a special event such as a film viewing, coffee meet and greet, scrabble get-together or a book swap.

This group is largely driven by its members, so make sure to voice your opinions on the group message board and in our online polls. Don't forget, the full list of 1001 books can be found under our group files in excel format. Download it and see how many you have read! A list of past selections and a guide to which books are available in audio-format and how to obtain them can also be found under group files.

Please feel free to comment on any of my posts, the blog is meant to be a place where we can continue some of our discussions, and book lovers alike can engage with one another! http://www.annarbor.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&;;...
