DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

  1. What distinguishes great book or classic from other books? What are some books published in the last thirty years or so that you think are great books? What recently published best sellers will not be classics, and why?
  2. Why is the popular phrase “instant classic” a misnomer?
  3. Should the Bible be included in our great books lists? Why or why not?

EXTRA ASSIGNMENT:
Go through a great books series and make a list of which ones you have read. If your family does not yet have a great books collection, search online for a list of great books, such as the one compiled by Mortimer Adler, and note which of those you have read.
