No, let's try not reading a children's book for our Classics month. Instead, can I suggest the seminal work by John Hersey, Hiroshima. This is the 70th anniversary of it's printing in The New Yorker, and it's a short, but powerful work that we can have a good discussion with. Really, folks, even though I would read Hardy's Heart of Darkness, I can't say I'm looking forward to it.
