[close] 10% intellectual discussion 90% folding little bois.

[close] This group will focus on literature and books concerning history, philosophy, psychology, natural and social science, religion and spirituality, and the arts published at least 50 years ago, the theory being: first, that the long-term reputation of a book is a more reliable filter to sort wheat from chaff than contemporary reviews or sales; second, that the books we read will address enduring themes and raise enduring questions; and, third, that judgment and taste should be seasoned by history and familiarity with the best writing and ideas of the past.
