happy5 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Does anyone know if such a thing exists? My Great Books collection that I purchased a year ago will sit unread on my shelf if I don't have the motivation of a group to get me going on reading them. It's one of my bucket list items to do.

3andme Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) The Great Books organization coordinates local book groups for both adults and children. Perhaps there is one in your area? If you can't find an active group, you might consider some of the alternatives below. They do not involve a group but might help to keep you motivated and on track with reading. Some of these options with video lectures might also at least help to give you a sense of discussion or dialogue outside a group setting. The Harvard Classics Online program - an incremental program for reading through the series. The Ancient Greek Hero on edX - free MOOC covering Classical Greek literature Great Courses lecture series - many of these are available at your local library Modern Scholar Odyssey of the West lecture series - may also be available at your local library Omnibus Self Paced Online program or Roman Roads' Old Western Culture Enroll in an online Great Course Tutorials for high school students (expensive) Edited July 6, 2016 by 3andme 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
