What we’re about
Hello, fellow readers! If you're like me, there's quite a few classic novels you have to confess you've never read (or want to reread). This group is designed so we can tackle the classics together in an informal setting that doesn't expect you to be a literary expert.
Exactly what books are "classics"? Check out this list to see the top 100 works of fiction as determined by an aggregate of 80+ lists. Curious about which books we've already tackled and what we have schedule in the upcoming months? Check here.
Please note: there is a waiting list for the group so members are not automatically approved. Also, because of the waiting list, members who have been inactive for 3 months or more may be removed from the group to allow others on the waiting list to join.

Pick Your Favorite That Isn't on Our List
Merriam Plaza Library, 6120 Slater Street, Merriam, KS, USThis is your chance to pitch your favorite book or a classic not on our list that you think should be. Depending on how many people RSVP, the plan is to give each person 5 minutes to hype their book and take questions from the group. Make sure you check our list here so that you don't pick a book that already made the cut!
We'll also take time to pick books for April, May, and June. We already have War and Peace on tap for March.
If time permits, we'll also look at what will make our next round of top 100 books since we're closing in on finishing our first top 100!5 attendees
