Note:
- The above web sites, following the titles, will direct you to LitLovers on the web; where, you will find a book summary, book reviews and discussion questions.
- As a possibility, we could pair our CLASSIC BANNED BOOK selections with another book. For example: To Kill a Mockingbird with Go Set a Watchman.
- Another pairing: Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen, with Longbourn, by Jo Baker, 2014 (The servants speak who live below the Bennett family.)
- Pride and Prejudice http://www.litlovers.com/reading-guides/13-fiction/819-pride-and-prejudice-austen?showall=1
- And finally: The Great Gatsby with Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald by Therese Anne Fowler, 2014. (This is Historical Fiction, who is Zelda besides being the wife of the famous F. Scott Fitzgerald?)
- Perhaps you can think of other pairings, linking a Classic book with a current selection.....
- Next week look for information on our MYSTERY selections for 2016-2017
- You can always give suggestions to me beforehand or bring them with you to discussion.
