What makes a book group great? Great Books and great discussion, of course. When you choose one of our anthologies for your book club, you'll create a truly enriching experience. Those passionate about literature and ideas will find a dynamic environment where attention is focused on classic and contemporary texts, and everyone's participation is encouraged.
Variety is what keeps hungry readers coming back for more. We offer a wide choice of intellectually engaging anthologies and short selections that are perfect for people leading busy lives. Today, hundreds of book groups are affiliated with the Great Books Foundation, forming a network of thoughtful, dedicated readers.
