Happiness and Discontent

I know the Great Books anthologies are meant for book groups, but I ended up reading most of this anthology on my own after moving away from my group. I missed the discussions and how they expand on the readings, but this anthology had so many interesting authors that were new to me that I really enjoyed the readings anyway. The selections are all thought-provoking. I especially liked the novels chosen to go along with this anthology, Middlemarch and An Imaginary Life (the novels are not in the book, but they are recommended as matching the anthology's theme, and there are discussion questions for them just like for the selections that are right in the anthology).
