Hello everyone! I just wanted to inform you that our book list for this year has been decided. Please keep in mind that I am open to suggestions if there is something on there that you detest or if there is something not on there that you have always wanted to read or even re-read. This especially applies to any new members this first year. The only reason the list stands as it is now is that I am the only member and have to vote on all of the books myself. New readers may join at anytime and should not be shy about asking questions. I am quite willing to make many changes at this point. Because there are no current members (as of this writing), the schedule will be very loose to allow for new readers to jump in and allow me to move at my own pace (which is usually very fast).
These are currently set up to vary in length, style, complexity, and tone.
The Odyssey - Homer - Robert Fagles Translation
Specific translation preferred but not required.
Frankenstein - Shelley
Beowulf - Anonymous - Seamus Heaney Translation
Specific translation preferred but not required.
War of the Worlds - H.G. Wells
The Tempest - Shakespeare
Metamorphosis - Franz Kafka
The Idiot - Fyodor Dostoevsky
1984 - George Orwell
Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
As I lay Dying - William Faulkner
