I recently attended a book club meeting for The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander. Believe it or not, I had never before attended a book club where we discussed a nonfiction book. Well, I didn’t finish the book (I know), but I did engage in some great conversation and I have a great tip to share with y’all: I like how the person leading the book club started it off with a summary of the book to focus the discussion and bring those who maybe hadn’t quite finished *ahem* up to speed.

When you read a classic novel, there’s always more to discover. The richest novels have a lot going on besides just the main plot line. In my opinion, the longest-enduring novels tend to have a large and lively cast of characters. This gives readers different ways to hook into the narrative and interpret what’s going on through the eyes of characters who surround the protagonist. It makes sense that writers are interested in reassessing the culture that shaped their own writing and choose to sometimes explore that by expanding a classic’s universe.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Kate Jackson began her acting career as a silent ghost on TV's classic 1960s gothic daytime drama Dark Shadows but remains alive and well years after two horrific battles with breast cancer. Jackson went on to small screen prime-time stardom on police/detective/crime drama/comedies like The Rookies, Charlie's Angels, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, and more. This is her triumphant story.

Stephen King is the undisputed master of literary horror. No one else in the genre comes close to him in terms of quality or quality. He has penned over 60 novels and 200 short stories, continuously captivating readers with his exploration of the dark corners of the human psyche. His best works, like The Shining, It, and Misery, are not just tales of terror but profound examinations of family, addiction, and madness. In addition, they are great snapshots of late 20th-century America, particularly its small towns.
