"We are always looking for the book it is necessary to read next." --Saul Bellow
I'm sure I'm not the only one out there who gave many a classic book a pass while growing up. Yet it turns out our teachers were right and there is a literary currency that these works provide. This group is your chance to sit down and finally read Anna Karenina, Don Quixote, Pride and Prejudice, the list goes on. The books can span any time period or country and will be decided based on everybody's suggestions.
For a list of books we have read, and books we wish to read, see here: http://www.meetup.com/classicbooks/about

“I love thought-provoking discussions about literature, and I never get tired of the classics! I thought it was hard to find other people who felt the same -- I'm happy to be wrong :)”

“While I also enjoy contemporary works, I am always drawn back to the classics. It is so interesting how Classic novels and short stories are informed by the events and social attitudes of the time of their composition (and vice versa).”

What members are saying
“ Enjoyed it very much!! ”
“ If someone (like me) has the desire to read classic books more, but is often too lazy to put in the energy, this is a great way to push one over the line to read them. ...
