Reading MaterialWe read books over 300 pages long. That is the only requirement, though mostly we read fiction.
|
DescriptionOur group was formed to read longer works that don't fit into the usual, once-a-month, Great Books format. Although 300 pages is the minimum length for one of our books, we have read a number of books (and trilogies) of more that 1000 pages. We select the books we're going to read through a nominating and voting process once a year, in April.

Additional DirectionsCentral Market gets pretty busy on Saturday, so you may have to search for a parking spot. The Community Room is on the second floor.

This group is pretty easy to fit into, so we hope you'll join us. People enjoy our group as a chance to get motivated to read those big books they've always wanted to read. The discussions usually bring out details and parts of the big picture that were overlooked before -- something fairly common in Great Books discussions. We've read classics, such as Les Miserables, and more recent publications, such as Infinite Jest.
