"It has been a thrilling journey to read through the Western Canon!

 

As part of the Literary Canon Club, I have the encouragement to read classics that I have always known about and highly interested in (even some I didn't know about). It is especially insightful to discuss our reading experience as a group and share what we've learned.


I am excited about future readings, and I highly recommend joining the club yourself."
