[close] You don’t have to be an English or Literature Major to enjoy great books! We want people to read for the fun of it and not worry about feeling they need to be "smart." We will be reading both traditional, and more modern classic novels. Please feel free to openly discuss any aspects of the books that we read in the forums, and remember that we're reading these books for FUN! So pour yourself a yummy beverage and let's discuss these books like we're sitting with a bunch of friends! We all vote on what book to read next and we read in a three month rotation (Pre-1910, 1910-1959, 1960-2004), so please visit our polls to help us select our next book https://www.goodreads.com/poll/list/78394-classics-without-all-the-class?type=group (we pick a book two months ahead in case there is a monster read, people can get started on it early if they desire [Anna Karenina comes to mind....] Our Facebook can be found at the link below. https://www.facebook.com/ClassicsWithoutAllTheClass Our Twitter account is @CWATC_bookclub.

[close] This group is for adults who love to read BANNED books (books challenged in public and school libraries/curricula in the USA)! We spent Summer & Fall 2023 reading and discussing eight of the Top 50 most banned books in the USA (according to CBS News & PEN America). We're back in 2024 and already on book #9 of the year (as of September 2024). This year we are using The Reader's Digest list of most banned books (Google it!) (and a slight digression into some classic stories) to vote monthly.
