The Expatriate Literary Circle Magazine was designed to bring together a group of intellects looking to share good classic reads and stimulating discussions. The website has been set-up to simulate the same Parisian cafe atmosphere of the 1920's - as experienced by our expatriate forefathers, which included the likes of Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, E.M. Forster and T.S. Eliot. The Book Club Online will read and discuss a classic book a month selected from a list of member recommendations from the Reading Group.

Writers aren't people exactly. Or, if they're any good, they're a whole lot of people trying so hard to be one person. It's like actors, who try so pathetically not to look in mirrors. Who lean backward trying - only to see their faces in the reflecting chandeliers." (from The Last Tycoon, 1941)
