A week of reading, discussion, fun, and friendship.
And What is a Great Books Discussion?
A group of readers, sharing their understanding of a stimulating work of literature or philosophy in a well-conducted discussion, can reach a level of insight rarely achieved by those who read alone. Great Books is for people who love to think and talk about the world's great ideas, and who derive pleasure from spending time with others who share that joy.
