Acts of the Apostles tells the story of Christianity in the 1st century. It was written around 80-90 AD by the same anonymous author that wrote the Gospel of Luke.

January 25, 2019 — The Golden Notebook, by Doris Lessing

The next meeting of Great Books KC will be January 25, 2019. We'll be discussing The Golden Notebook by Doris Lessing, winner of the 2007 Nobel Prize for literature. 

The Golden Notebook is a 1962 novel by Doris Lessing that explores mental and societal breakdown. It contains powerful anti-war and anti-Stalinist messages, an extended analysis of communism and the Communist Party in England from the 1930s to the 1950s, and an examination of the budding sexual and women's liberation movements.

In 2005, TIME magazine called The Golden Notebook one of the 100 best English-language novels since 1923.
