We’re kicking off a new reading venture and hope people will drop in. The concept is simply that of reading with friends.
The Classics Salon will be a low pressure, unstructured, no rules reading group devoted to the classics, defined for Salon purposes as public domain everywhere. There will be a new selection each quarter. People can participate as they will, although it’s hoped that enough will show up for a lively discussion.
And I think that’s it.
To start things off, the following three novels have been proposed:
- Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes
- Daniel Deronda by George Eliot
- East Lynne by Mrs. Henry Wood
I’ll note that the first two titles have been suggested in earlier threads as of potential interest and the third could be something of a palate cleanser if the others seem a little daunting.
Do people have suggestions for order? We’re looking at a start day of May 15 for both reading and discussion. This list would carry us through the year.
