In our February meeting, we read chapter 8 and started reading chapter 9 of “Reading Lolita in Tehran”.

One topic we discussed was “philosopher-king”, the ideal ruler, according to Plato in his “Republic”. (Click here to read the Japanese Wikipedia entry).

For our next meeting, the reading assignment is

• the rest of chapter 9
• chapter 10
• chapter 13

Our next meeting will be March 26th. I look forward to seeing you all then.
