Books & Banter: Classics
9:30 a.m. Tuesday, June 24
Just what makes a work a ‘classic’? In general, classics usually express some artistic quality [an expression of life, truth and beauty]; stand the test of time; have a certain universal appeal; and make connections for the readers. Examples include “Jane Eyre,” “To Kill a Mockingbird,” “Animal Farm,” “Great Expectations,” “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” “The Grapes of Wrath,” “Catch-22” and “Slaughterhouse-Five.” What are some of your favorite classics?
