May meeting report

Dear Readers,

For those of you who were unable to attend today, I announced my retirement from this reading group. I will continue until we have finished discussing our present novel, “The Book Thief”.

There are various reasons for this decision: partly my health but mainly because I feel it is time for me to move on and do other things. It has been a most enjoyable journey through English literature with all of you.

Our next meeting will be June 27th, and we will discuss from Part 6 “Death’s Diary: Cologne” (p. 334 in the version we are using).

I hope to see you again at the end of June.

May meeting

After a 2-month hiatus, our May meeting will take place on May 23rd at the usual time and place. I look forward to seeing you there.

Update: 

We’ll be reading and discussing from “The Whistler and the Shoes” (Part 5, p. 284).

I’m blogging about writers talking about writing over on my other blog, “Accurate Maps“. I also took up a challenge – to write 1,000 words minimum every day on my blog, and to read 1 short story, 1 poem and 1 essay a day. You can read more here.
