Plays

[close] This is for teen girls who love to write and read. So if you love writing and are a teen girl please join this group! Share what you've written, where you got your inspiration...or look at what other people have written and get inspired! Post your writing and get opinions and constructive criticism (or praise!) from the group. And if you want to take a break from writing, there are loads of other threads - games, chats, books... Have fun! :)

[close] In this group we will be tackling the complete works of William Shakespeare, one play per month, in whatever order I can justify at the time. I'll be posting a general discussion, as well as a deep dive into a specific passage, for each play on my booktube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5qBKZan4C7SMcuy5VIPFMQ). If you also make a video (or blog post), do post it in the appropriate thread. Upcoming Schedule: July 2018 - Othello August 2018 - Much Ado About Nothing September 2018 - The Winter's Tale

[close] About the Group Welcome! We’re a Vancouver-based reading crew for people who love the classics and want to read them in a friendly, low-pressure way. We rotate between plays (Shakespeare & friends), classic novels (Tolstoy, Austen, Ibsen, etc.), and a monthly Harvard Classics Coffee Club pick (short, actionable reads like Ben Franklin’s Autobiography). Think: big ideas, zero academic gatekeeping. Who this is for Readers who want thoughtful conversation without homework police People curious about “the great books” and how they apply to real life Vancouver locals who may meet in person—non-Vancouver readers still welcome to join threads and chats How we read 1–2 selections per month (mix of short plays, short stories, essays, or manageable chunks of longer books) Discussion threads open a week before meetups with prompts + key quotes In-person meetups (cafés / library rooms) when possible, plus ongoing online chats “Come even if you didn’t finish”—we’ll post summaries and passages Typical Picks Plays: Twelfth Night, A Doll’s House, Death of a Salesman Novels/Novellas: Hadji Murat, The Stranger, Jane Eyre (selections welcome) Harvard Classics: Franklin, Emerson essays, Marcus Aurelius selections, Montaigne, Plato dialogues (short!) Why join Because classics don’t have to be stuffy. We read to think better, live better, and have great conversations—with a warm, curious crowd.

[close] Welcome to the Flappers and Philosophers Book Club. While the name of this book club itself derives from F. Scott Fitzgerald's collection of short stories, there are no limitations as to what can be read and discussed here. If you've read a book and you would like to share your thoughts, or perhaps start an interesting discussion around a particular topic, then please share! We would love to hear it! Everybody is welcome. _____ On the first Monday of every month, the #BookOfTheMonth shall be posted in the group. This will be randomly selected out of a list of titles. The discussion for this book will open on the first Monday of the following month, after the next #BookOfTheMonth has been revealed, so as to not spoil the book for anybody. If there is a book that you would like to nominate for #BookOfTheMonth, please message me, and I shall add it to the list.
