Did you know that fewer than half of US adults read a book last year?
In our academic system, it is normal to go from kindergarten to PhD without reading a single page of Homer, Plato, Augustine, Dante, or Milton.
In any other age, such a person would not be considered educated at all.
Since the state refuses to teach the Great Books of Western Civilization, we've started an independent group to the study them together. To preserve a culture, you must continually study the books and ideas that created it.
Below are just some of the texts on our reading list!
If this sounds like something you'd like to be part of, please join our group. We read a new classic text approx. every month and meet biweekly to discuss. We are studying the great works in dialogue with each other.
Most of what we put out is free, but to support our efforts, please consider a paid subscription. It makes a huge difference to the time and resources we can dedicate to this project.
We are entirely independent, funded only by the incredible members of this community.
Paid members get:
- Live book club discussions (biweekly)
- Essays to guide you through the books we're reading
- Access to the community chat room
- The full archive of discussions and essays
- Ability to vote on what we read next...

@StephanieB91278@xpopparlor Weird way to say “I don't pay attention to what people are actually saying and just jump to disturbing assumptions” GREAT JOB - GO YOU! YOU DID IT
It's Friday night… well Saturday morning technically and I'm watching Alysa Liu videos. I'm so happy for her 🥹👏 and THE HAIR. I wouldn't want to be spending the evening doing anything else.
