Modernism

[close] This group is Mr. Roach's 7th period World Literature class. Goodreads will serve as our forum to continue discourse.

[close] A group started by two friends in university who needed an excuse to read new books and drink nice tea. Pick up a book ; enjoy yourself. All are welcome! C'mon in. Take your shoes off; stay awhile.

[close] 2013 was the year for reading—or re-reading—Marcel Proust's À la recherche du temps perdu or In Search of Lost Time for many of us. However, these threads will remain intact for those who wish to use them and the reading schedule to read Proust on their own, by contributing here, or inviting others to use the existing forum structure for future group reads of In Search of Lost Time. The reading schedule can be found here, and can easily be amended for subsequent year-long reads; see the thread here for the translations and editions we will be using. [Update] When discussing ISOLT in the discussion threads, spoilers can be hidden by bracketing them between the special and tags.

[close] Remember when literature died after 1930 because of radio and then TV and then VCRs and then the internet? I don't either! Let's explore together... Basically, I've noticed that all the really great books came out in the 20s. So I plan to read a) only books from the 1920s for 13 months starting Christmas week 2012 and ending the third week of January 2014, or b) 13 books from the 1920s over the course of 2013. Join me!
