Reading The Great Classics

TWO KINDS OF BOOK CLUB

     There are, of course, book clubs where you sit around discussing books, and book clubs that send you bargain books. BOOK CLUBS RESOURCE helps you find the right online book discussion groups or reading groups. As you can imagine, the Internet simply teems with them. BOOK CLUBS RESOURCE, under “Discount Book Clubs,” also helps you with the kind of book club that lets you buy club books at a much reduced price.

100 GREATEST NOVELS OF ALL TIME

     I love the quote from number 17, Dostoevsky’s The Idiot:

     "And where on earth did I get the idea that you were an idiot? You always observe what other people pass by unnoticed."

     Some of these books will be in your local library, but unless the library is huge, you won’t find them all. In that case you can ask your librarian for a “inter-library loan.” These loans are free; all you need to do is ask.

GREATEST BOOKS OF ALL TIME

     Next are the greatest books of all time, also according to the GREAT BOOKS GUIDE:

     The GREAT BOOKS GUIDE is not the same as the 70-volume HARVARD CLASSICS, though you’ll find similar books on both; there’s been a general consensus on the “greats” for years, differing in details. You can download the entire 70-volume edition of the HARVARD CLASSICS, in the form of e-books, for free from BARTLEBY.COM. You’ll find the writup on BARTLEBY in the free e-book section.
