The Past, Present, and Future

Okay, we are officially finished our first book. I was fairly pleased with the result and I hope that you were as well. I would like to spend a little time reflecting on the successes and short-comings of our BNW experience. Then, we will start scheming on our next literary exploit.

In your comments, I would like you to respond to the following:

(1) What did you like about the format of the book club so far? (Responses to this can address things like length of reading assignments, frequency of discussion questions, structure of discussion questions, etc.)

(2) Are there any structural or procedural suggestions that you have?

(3) List two books that you are interested in reading next.


After everyone has posted, I will create a poll on the website so that everyone can vote on the next book.

Brave New World: Final Discussion

Here are a few questions that I would be interested in discussing. Feel free to make your own observation or remark.


1) What is Huxley saying about religion and society?

or

2) What is Huxley saying about human nature?

or

3) Why does the Savage feel the need to be self-flagellating?
