Summary: The Evil and the Guilty
Review: Another great Great Books anthology! If you're like me, you'll be amazed to find yourself reading a selection from Musil's A Man without Qualities (a Big Famous Book I thought I'd never get near). I was equally surprised to find myself reading (and enjoying) the Rime of the Ancient Mariner. My book group enjoyed the shorter format of these selections - we used to read novels only, and we'd often end up meeting without everyone having finished the novel. With the Great Books anthologies, we are able to read the selection more than once and have much better discussions (plus, we only need to buy one book for six or seven meetings!). The discussion questions provided for each reading selection really help us stay on topic.
