There are many book clubs. This group reads literary classics...books that have stood the test of time.

We'll read Homer, Dante, Salinger, Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, John Kennedy Toole, Alice Walker, Shakespeare. Great authors, great books. We'll read fiction, poetry, drama, folk tales, philosophy. We'll discuss what we read over wine or coffee. Sound fun?

I like to read, and I live in New Bern. I like to discuss books and meet new people! We meet once a month to discuss a book we all have read. We can vote on books to read, or I can randomly select one. I like good books, but I don't want to get too very intellectual. But I do want them to be interesting ones. Books to think about would be fiction and non fiction, sci/fi, biography and autobiographies, mainstream fiction and really whatever type of books the members want to read. I look forward …
