Modern Classics

[close] This global discussion group has been designed to encourage debates about important and underreported issues of our era. All you need is an enquiring mind and a desire to gain or share “underground knowledge”. This is also a place to discuss the controversial topics explored in The Underground Knowledge Series (non-fiction books) by James Morcan & Lance Morcan as well as the Underground Knowledge podcast show.

[close] Enjoy. (Still active as of June 2020)

[close] A group for anyone who wants to read and share their way through the Penguin Modern Classics collection of books.

[close] As suggested by Anna Bonet (iPaper January 2025). This list is suggested for readers with limited time and don’t wish to be bogged down with just a few classic books. In other words, if you’re struggling to show decent shelf numbers for the year, consider these. Animal Farm by George Orwell Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway The Stranger by Albert Camus Between the Acts by Virginia Woolf Passing by Nella Larsen We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Truman Capote Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka The Awakening by Kate Chopin Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
