About us
This group will meet monthly (generally the last Saturday of each month), in order to discuss a classic work of literature, with a distinct bias towards popular classic fiction, in order to appeal to the broadest group possible and to be inclusive. If the classics are your thing, and you want to read more of them while meeting other bibliophiles, then this group is for you. I ask that you bear in mind we meet at a cafe - someone’s livelihood; I'm happy to cover the Meetup fees and don't want a contribution from attendees, so let’s support our hosts by buying a cup of coffee. If you find you cannot pop along on the day, please pay me the courtesy of editing your RSVP from Yes to No, so that my table booking can be adjusted - just as you would let anyone in your circle know if you were unable to meet as planned. Two “no shows” will result in removal from the group as per standard Meet Up site suggestions.
The plan is that we will democratically elect the book for two months time at the end of the meeting, I'll list it on Meetup as soon as possible thereafter and "announce" it when it is the next one up (ie after the subsequent meeting) Hope that makes sense.
Please enjoy and happy reading.

Tree of Man
MK Bower cafe, 433 Logan Rd, Stones Corner QLD 4120, Australia, Stones Corner, AUJames Stern of The New York Times wrote: "'The Tree of Man,' it seems to me, is a timeless work of art from which no essential element of life has been omitted. A magnifying glass has been laid over a microscopic world in the center of which loom, larger and larger, man and woman, married, bound by love, and from whom radiate the beauty and the tragedy of humanity." In the Times one day later, Orville Prescott called it "the finest novel I have read so far in 1955, a majestic and impressive work of genuine art that digs more deeply into the universal experience of human living than all save a few great books."
