These books will give you a better education than almost any school curriculum in the West today.
In our academic system, you can go from Pre-K to PhD without reading a word of Homer, Thucydides, Plato, Aristotle, Virgil, Augustine, Dante, or Milton.
We set up the Athenaeum Book Club to fight back. If schools and universities won't teach the Great Books, we must form our own reading circles. These are some of the texts we've read together, or will cover soon.
Join our reading group to study the great works in dialogue with others.
We are just starting The Brothers Karamazov.
If you've been on the fence about joining our group, now's the time. You do NOT want to miss this.
We're reading Brothers K. over the next 6 weeks. The next discussion is on August 18th.
Take out a paid subscription if you'd like to support us and join the discussions directly — it makes a huge difference to the time and resources we can dedicate.
You'll get:
- Live book club discussions (biweekly)
- Access to our incredible community chat
- Essays to guide you through the Great Books
- All past recordings, essays, and podcasts
- Ability to vote on what we read next
