The Mitchell Library Classics Book Group takes place on the first Thursday of every month from 6.30 - 7.30 pm in the Mitchell Library, North Street, Glasgow, G3 7DN. You do not need to be a literary scholar to attend, all we ask is that you have some interest in/appreciation for (undogmatically defined) classic literature!
The group is completely free and the library provides copies of all the titles we select. To give a flavour of the type of thing we will be reading over the coming months, here is a list of the novels currently reserved for us:
Giovanni's Room, James Baldwin
Poor Things, Alasdair Gray
The Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood
The Talented Mr Ripley, Patricia Highsmith
Catch 22, Joseph Heller
A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens
If you would like to attend or enquire about attending please email: GL.BookGroups@glasgowlife.org.uk
Alternatively, feel free to just turn up at one of our meetings on a Thursday evening. We are currently based in the Fairfield Room accessible from the Granville Street entrance to the library, though this may be subject to change so please ask at reception if you are unsure.
