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.
Thank you for the update of the blog and your reply to our emails. Nice to know your retirement from IRG was decided
proactively not merely reactively to your health.
On your accepting our proposal that members are okay if June meeting would be the last, I look forward to my/our last shared reading experience under your instruction on 27th.
Hope your eye is on the way to healing. Take care of yourself.
