March 2018 Master

Study/Learn

Sorry for the late change, some of these Master Books are just too long to fit into one week!.  Please start The Count of Monte Cristo by Dumas.  Read the first 200 pages.  You will finish this book for Masters in Imaginative Arts. Come prepared to discuss.   This is one of my most favorite books!
