I recently realized that my love of reading slowly deteriorated through
high school, college, and grad school. I used to read a lot when I was
younger, but the pressures of "having" to read 50 pages a night in
higher education made me lose all interest in reading for fun. Until
now!
Browsing the "classics" section of a bookstore this weekend, I realized
there are so many good books out there that I have yet to read, or that
I've already read but would understand differently now than when I first
read them: Catcher in the Rye, Moby Dick, Grapes of Wrath, Anna
Karenina, Don Quixote, and so on. Joel and I have decided to pick a new
book every few weeks and read it separately, then discuss together.
Would anyone care to join us? I would love to have a very informal
discussion group once a month to talk about The Classics. Our
discussions would be laid-back with no pretense, at a regularly
scheduled time, such as the first or second Sunday of each month.
Joel and I have chosen Catcher in the Rye with which to start. Let me
know if you're interested.
Cheers,
Sarah
