About the Salon Classics Book Group When was the last time you finished a terrific book bursting with the desire to share your thoughts about it with other readers? Reading doesn't have to be a purely solitary experience, as thousands of book groups across the country are proving every month. Starting this month, Salon will bring the book group experience on-line -- with an exciting new twist. With the launch of the Salon Classics Book Group, you'll have the opportunity to join well-known contemporary authors and other Salon readers in lively conversations about some of the greatest books of all time. The Salon Classics Book Group pairs such notable authors as Joyce Carol Oates, Garrison Keillor, Jane Hamilton, Galway Kinnell, Carol Shields and David Denby with works by Charlotte Bronte, Joseph Conrad, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Charles Dickens, Theodore Dreiser and Jane Austen. We're presenting the Salon Classics Book Group in concert with the publication of The New York Public Library Collector's Editions. These beautiful moderately priced, richly enhanced editions are illustrated with original art and handwritten letters, diaries, and manuscripts from the collections of the Library. All royalties from this series will go to the New York Public Library to reserve and support its collections. In our first discussion, legendary literary "bad girl" Erica Jong will lead the conversation about one of literature's most famous adulteresses. We'll kick off the series on Monday, September 15, with Gustave Flaubert's "Madame Bovary." You have the option of purchasing your own copies of The New York Public Library Collector's editions of the classic books being discussed, courtesy of Borders Books and Music. Just click on:
