Pharos Book Club Reading List

In January, 2002, five friends and I became the charter members of the Pharos Book Club, a reading group focused on great works of literature regarded as classic, innovative, or influential.  When we meet on future occasions, I'll be sure to post the gist of our discussion.  For now, a list of our previous readings will have to suffice.
