Join us to discuss Laurence Sterne's *The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman*, published in 1759. Goodreads.com says, it is a "great masterpiece of bawdy humour and rich satire [that] defies any attempt to categorize it, with a rich metafictional narrative that might classify it as the first 'postmodern' novel." It ranks #100 on our list.

Classic Novels: The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy

Johnson County Library - Merriam Plaza

It's time to revisit the top 100 list on which this group is based! I created the original in 2014 and have revised it in honor of the 10th anniversary. That means there are new entries (ten in all) and some albums have been bumped. Have no fear, though. All 110 albums - listed [here](https://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/2024/11/top-100-albums-of-20th-century.html) \- are still up for discussion\. We'll also be adding the top 10 albums of the 21st century to the mix\.

I also thought it would be fun to pitch picks for albums you think belong here. Maybe you just love it. Maybe you think it is hugely influential and don't understand why it isn't on the list. In any event, come prepared to pitch ONE album. While these albums won't be added to the list, you at least have a chance to persuade others to give it a listen!

Please note: We are at the Merriam Plaza Library and meeting on a Wednesday instead of our usual day. We will also select albums for discussion for January, February, and March. You can see the album list from which we make our selections [here](https://davesmusicdatabase.blogspot.com/2024/11/top-100-albums-of-20th-century.html).

Revisiting the Top 100 Albums List

Join us for a discussion of *Seven Samurai*. This 1954 action film from famous Japanese director Akira Kurosawa has been called a "Western in eastern garb." Indeed it was remade as the American Western *The Magnificient Seven*. It ranks #35 on our list of top 100 movies of all time.
