About us
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.

Classic Novels: Portrait of a Lady
Merriam Plaza Library, 6120 Slater Street, Merriam, KS, USJoin us to discuss Henry James' The Portrait of a Lady (#94 on our list). This romance novel was published in 1881. Barnes & Noble said, "in this portrait of a 'young woman affronting her destiny,' Henry James created one of his most magnificent heroines, and a story of intense poignancy." They also called it "a lucid tragedy exploring the distance between money and happiness." Read more about it here.
