Remember all those great books that were forced down our throats in High School? Do you remember them with fond memories? No, of course not.

Books like The Great Gatsby, Moby Dick, Crime and Punishment, Wuthering Heights, and many many more. This is not high school, there will be no tests or forced questions, just book lovers and casual discuss …

A book that inspires change, thought or action. 5. A book that is, above all else, well written. Every month, The Cult Fiction Club selects one book fitting all or …
