Read classic books slowly and meet to discuss the scheduled reading along the way.
The Old Curiosity Shop was originally published in serial form in Master Humphrey's Clock from April 1840 to February 1841. It was such a popular story that when the final installment arrived by ship in New York, readers famously met the ship at the dock.
