Classic Books

There are many wonderful books out there so to assist in narrowing the selection the type of books this club will focus on are Classics (don't let this deter you, not all classics are necessarily hard to read).

What is a classic? Simply stated a classic is "a work of enduring excellence". A classic can be found not only in books but also in art, math, architecture, etc.

Why read a classic?

1. The classics teach us human nature.

2. The classics bring us face-to-face with greatness.

3. The classics take us to the frontier to be conquered.

4. The classics force us to think.

5. The classics connect us to stories.

6. Our canon becomes our plot.

7. The knowledge and insight learned from reading a classic will help us maintain a free civilization.
