<strong>Do you want to read more classic fiction? Do you want to know more about how novels work, their technique? Do you want to do this in a low pressure bookclub-style setting? Join <a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/HenryEOliver">Henry Oliver</a>, who writes <a href="https://commonreader.substack.com/">The Common Reader</a> for this series on <a href="https://interintellect.com/series/how-to-read-a-novel/">How to Read a Novel.</a></strong>
