Bestsellers of the Classical Era(s) (BCE)

From the epic tales of Gilgamesh or the Mahabarata to the philosophical musings of Plato's Republic and Confucius' Analects, we'll be delving into the literary masterpieces that have captured the hearts and minds of readers for centuries. Our book club will meet monthly to discuss the intricacies of these ancient works, their themes, characters, and historical significance. We can discuss how these works have influenced literature and culture throughout the ages, and how they continue to resonate with readers today.

Whether you're a longtime fan of ancient literature or a newcomer to the classics, this book club is the perfect opportunity to expand your knowledge and engage with like-minded individuals. So join us for stimulating discussions, insightful analysis, and a journey through some of the most beloved books in history!

This Month we're talking about The Ramayana. The Ramayana is an epic odyssey, and a foundational text of Hinduism. Whether you read the full epic, an abridged version, one of the sections, such as the Bhagavad Gita, or haven't read it at all, please join us to talk about this important classical text.
