"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 look to read books and am constantly reading one or two. I haven't read many classics in recent years but thought it would be fun to read and discuss them with others.”
