Our first meeting for the 2023-’24 season is less than six weeks away. If you haven’t started yet, you still have time to read George Eliot’s Middlemarch!
Here is a complete list of reading assignments and meeting dates for the coming months:
- October 4 (Wednesday) – Middlemarch by George Eliot
- November 28 (Tuesday) – The Long Ships by Frans Bengtsson
- December 20 (Wednesday) – Mariette in Ecstasy by Ron Hansen
- January 17 (Wednesday) – The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne by Brian Moore
- February 21 (Wednesday, but date is still tentative) – Isaac Bashevis Singer short stories (specific assignments to follow)
- March 20 (Wednesday) – Hamlet by Shakespeare
- April 17 (Wednesday) – Morte d’Urban by JF Powers
- May 15 (Wednesday) – Eifelheim by Michael Flynn
- June 19 (Wednesday) – A Far Cry from Kensington by Muriel Spark
I’m excited about this year’s selections. They run the proverbial gamut (ever wonder what a “gamut” is?) from light to heavy, long to short, comedy to tragedy, and they’ll give us plenty to think about and discuss.
