So, what books do you think they might choose for such a course? The newsletter offered no examples or particulars other than the concept itself, of a novel study course where you spend an entire semester reading just the one book, in great detail.
Any time period or genre restrictions?

For the modern era, I might think LORD OF THE RINGS might be suitable given Tolkien's background and intent in writing the novel.

And, of course, for "traditionalists", there's always FINNEGAN'sWAKE.
