"No matter how busy you may think you are, you must find time for reading, or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance." — Confucius I'm sure I'm not the only one out there who gave many a classic book a pass while growing up.

This book club is your chance to sit down and finally read Anna Karenina, Don Quixote, Pride and Prejudice, but also the somewhat forgotten classics and even modern works …
