What we're about
The Ann Arbor Classics Book Group meets monthly on Sundays at 3pm at a co-organizer's house. We also provide a zoom link, for those not able to attend in person. Pre-Covid, we had met at Nicola's Books in the Westgate Shopping Center; we hope to return to meeting there, or to another public space, in the future.
Our book club's selections are all from Boxall's "1001 books you must read before you die" (see the list here).
Group members vote online for monthly selections. There are dues of $1.00 for each meetup attended (to help cover the monthly meetup.com fee).
Occasionally, we will have an after-discussion dinner.
This group is largely driven by its members, so make sure to voice your opinions on the group message board and in the polls. Also, feel free to message an organizer with book suggestions. Check out a list of our past reads here.
Please note: Meetup does not provide organizers with unlimited control. Therefore, we do not have access to change your email address, your email settings (go to My Profile), or even to change your RSVPs. Each person must update these items for themselves. Thanks for understanding.

"If on a Winter's Night a Traveler turns out to be not one novel but ten, each with a different plot, style, ambience, and author, and each interrupted at a moment of suspense. Together they form a labyrinth of literatures, known and unknown, alive and extinct, through which two readers, a male and a female, pursue both the story lines that intrigue them and one another." - from Amazon.com

"At the heart of this wonderful novel are the moving relationships between the estranged members of the Das family. Bimla is a dissatisfied but ambitious teacher at a women’s college who lives in her childhood home, where she cares for her mentally challenged brother, Baba. Tara is her younger, unambitious sister, married and with children of her own. Raja is their popular, brilliant, and successful brother. When Tara returns for a visit with Bimla and Baba, old memories and tensions resurface, blending into a domestic drama that leads to beautiful and profound moments of self-understanding." - from Amazon.com
