What we’re about

Meet fellow book lovers who want to read and discuss great (fiction) literature. Since we will meet once a month only, the books that we discuss should be ones that have been around for a while and that we know are good and have a lasting value. Therefore the main criterion for our selection is that books "have stood the test of time", and after a couple of name changes for our group I think that the new name Timeless Classics expresses best what we have in mind. All members are invited to send me suggestions for books to discuss, that I will put on my ever growing list that we can chose from.

Mikhail Bulgakov: "A dog's heart/Heart of a dog".
The Royal Oak, 595/10 Soi Sukhumvit 33/1, Watthana, Kr, TH
From reviews:

"Set in 1920's Moscow, "A dog's heart/ Heart of a dog" (depending on which translation you read), is a sharp, funny, and thought-provoking novella about science, society, and what it means to be human. Bulgakov uses wit and satire to explore how idealism and experimentation can go unexpectedly awry. Blending humor with social insight, the story offers a glimpse into life in early Soviet Russia while raising timeless questions about human nature and progress".

"At just over a hundred pages, this one is a quick, lively read that manages to be both entertaining and surprisingly relevant today". That should sound re-assuring for those members who (tried to) read and discuss his "The Master and Margarita"....
