NYC Great Works Reading club 5.00 5.005
Founded
June 15, 2009

This club's goal is to have great discussions on renowned works in both fiction and non-fiction. This would include great works of literature, history, autobiographies, biographies, plays etc. Great books and great discussions are our goal; books that profoundly explore human nature. Especially for fiction it would be great to hear from people who have read the book at different phases of their lives and to hear how their opinions of the book have changed.

We will have monthly meeting with most books picked a couple months in advance. However, if we all agee, we can plan even farther out for some really challenging books. As for location I am looking for a regular spot but hope that if the club develops a core group of people we can have more varied and interesting meetup locations to discuss the books such as restaurants, museums, parks etc.

Time change: We now have a monthly place at the Jackson Mcnally bookstore. The 17th of every month.

I've heard it is a supremely difficult but brilliant work... and guys probably need to read it a few times to "get it"! Good thing I am the organizer so I can schedule it way in advance!! :)

What members are saying

 Great discussion. Cool people. 

Ajit

 The classics scheduled for discussion are foundation pieces of a discerning life. I constantly gain insight from the conversations with others and enjoy the banter.
