What we’re about
Each month we read and discuss a "classic", which we define as any book published more than 50 years ago that we still want to read. We read fiction interspersed with a bit of history and philosophy. We meet on Zoom for convenience most months but also meet in person a couple of times a year. Discussions are casual, respectful, on-topic, open, and leaning towards the big questions about the good, the beautiful, and the true.

This event will be on zoom as usual. Originally, I had it as an in-person meeting, but unfortunately I mistook my dates and I won't be in NYC at this time! I will try to schedule an in person event soon, as it is great to meet people in person from time to time.
Everyone will have a chance to share their thoughts on the book at the start of the meeting, which will be followed by an open discussion. I'll have a few questions prepared to keep the conversation going, which I'll try to post in the comments a week before we meet (although I don't always send them out on time).
We'll be meeting on a Zoom:
