Westchester Great Books Council Discussions- Fall ’26

Westchester Great Books Council Discussions- Fall ’26

Event Series: Westchester Great Books Council Discussions- Fall '26

Join us for monthly stimulating discussions of selections from great world literature. Each discussion will be guided by a trained leader who may ask questions but not answer them. Using the ‘shared inquiry’ method, readers explore their understanding of a thought-provoking work of literature or philosophy in a well-conducted discussion, allowing participants to reach a level of insight not often achieved when reading alone. Readings are from the Great Books Foundation’s Standing Down anthology, available from the foundation: http://www.greatbooks.org. Copies may be available through your local library.

Discussion Dates:

  • Sept 8: Revisiting My Memoir by Edward W. Wood Jr.
  • Oct 13: Village Estela by Portillo Trambley
  • Nov 10: A Rumor of War (excerpt) by Philip Caputo
  • Dec 8: What it is Like to Go to War (selection) by Karl Marlantes
