[close] This a book club for anybody interested in reading existentialist literature and fiction. Every month I'll be putting up a new text either by an existentialist author or containing existentialist themes. I encourage you to read the text along with other people and engage in a discussion at the end of each month, however feel free to use the group to discover existentialist literature at your leisure. MONTHLY READS ARE AS FOLLOWS: May - The Boxer and the Goalkeeper by Andrew Martin June – The Rebel by Albert Camus July – The Awakening by Kate Chopin Aug/Sep/Oct - Being and Nothingness by JP Sartre November – The Nose by Nikolai Gogol December - Bartleby the Scrivener by Herman Melville I am by no means an expert in existentialism and welcome contributors and suggestions for upcoming reads. This group is not just for those well-read in the area but for people like myself who are open to discovering it.

[close] This is a group to read and discuss those books generally referred to as “the classics” or “the Western canon.” Books which have shaped Western thought over the years; books which Robert Hutchins, in his essay for the Great Books of the Western World series, considered important works in “The Great Conversation.” As one participant noted, "the goal of this group is to make reading the classics an enjoyable and enlightening but non-threatening process."
