What we’re about
Hello, fellow readers! If you're like me, there's quite a few classic novels you have to confess you've never read (or want to reread). This group is designed so we can tackle the classics together in an informal setting that doesn't expect you to be a literary expert.
Exactly what books are "classics"? Check out this list to see the top 100 works of fiction as determined by an aggregate of 80+ lists. Curious about which books we've already tackled and what we have schedule in the upcoming months? Check here.
Please note: there is a waiting list for the group so members are not automatically approved. Also, because of the waiting list, members who have been inactive for 3 months or more may be removed from the group to allow others on the waiting list to join.

Merriam Plaza Library, 6120 Slater Street, Merriam, KS, USWe'll discuss The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner (#29 on our list). This was his favorite novel. The Library of Congress says the book “uses the American South as a metaphor for a civilization in decline” in the post-Civil War era. The story covers the dissolution of the Compson family and their reputation over three decades. Read more here.
Note: we are back at our usual location for this one.
