Great Books in Year 2 of the Pandemic (2021)

In 2021 our group held discussions of these pieces:

January: "Prometheus Bound," by Aeschylus
February: "Of Friendship" and "Of Solitude" by Michel de Montaigne 
March: "Pensées" by Blaise Pascal
April: "Self-Reliance" by Ralph Waldo Emerson 
May: No meeting 
June: "An Enemy of the People," by Henrik Ibsen
July: "The Value of Science," by Henri Poincaré
August: "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking" by Walt Whitman 
September: "Democracy in America," by Alexis de Tocqueville 
October: "Thoughts for the Times on War and Death," by Sigmund Freud 
November: "The Secret Sharer," by Joseph Conrad

The meetings were held virtually, via Zoom, until September, when we resumed in-person programming at the library but with a virtual option.
