Dead Writers Society: The Classics Book Club
Dead Writers Society is a space for exploring classic literature, free from the constraints of conventional praise or criticism. We approach the classics with an open mind and a spirit of curiosity. While we acknowledge the historical significance of these works, we believe that their true value lies in the personal experience they offer to each reader.

We Welcome All
The club is for those seeking meaningful conversations, critical thinking opportunities, and a community of like-minded individuals who share a love for reading.
We welcome participants from diverse backgrounds, as a variety of perspectives enriches our discussions. Whether you are a seasoned reader of the classics, someone who has always wanted to delve into these monumental texts but never had the chance, or a skeptic of their value, this book club offers a safe place to share your experience.

We Just Want to Have Fun
The main goal of the Dead Writers is to share the joy of reading, interpretation, and conversation.
While we can't guarantee that every classic will be a purely agreeable experience, the journey through these challenging, confusing, and occasionally boring texts is part of the fun.
We intend to host thought-provoking conversations that go beyond the plot and uncover the underlying themes reflected in our personal reactions to the text.
We hope to equip our members with the tools to critically assess other literary works, promoting a deeper understanding of literature and language as a whole.

Please Note: To hold a productive discussion, our book club meeting requires a minimum of three participants. To join, kindly subscribe by the day before the meeting at the latest. If, by Friday morning, we have fewer than three subscriptions, the meeting will be cancelled, and the library will refund your subscription fee. Thank you for your understanding!
