2015: The Year of Reading Women discussion

Discussion and group reads for Emily Brontë.

Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Br...

On my list I have Wuthering Heights, which I have been avoiding for years...

Count me in. I haven't read it in years. It's a bit over the top but hard to resist.

Oh, hello Gary. Good to see you around.

Thanks...I'm in and out of consciousness. Emily Bronte always gets my attention.

Read it, but love it, so... not sure if I'd do a full re-read. I'd definitely lurk at the very least, and possibly do a partial re-reading. Who knows, i might even re-read the whole thing... depending how time treats me.

Hate to admit at my advanced years that I never read it but I have at least two copies so name the date.

Let's crash this party! So, when are we doing WH, gang?

Hmm. September looks best for me. I would really like to avoid April, June, and July.

I think September can work for me :)

Would late August early September work? September /October is hard for me...

September is fine.

Awww. I just remembered I will be away for a few days at the beginning of September, but aside from that it should be fine. As for late August, I should be at home or have Internet access, and will have one overlapping read. Not as good as Sept. (barring the school trip), but probably feasible.

If it's late September, I'm afraid that I'm out. :(

Define late September, Trav?

From 20 September onwards? How long is your beginning of September? :(

Ca. five days in the first week, I think? I completely forgot I will tutor grade 10 next year, which means going on a trip.

Having said that, I don't think we will deal properly with WH in less than 4 weeks. Your being 'out' with Sept. 20 means we should start at least on Aug 24.

Hm, five days might actually not be a problem, with so many other discussions going on? But I guess that's not entirely up to me to decide. I'm just saying that I personally could live with a 5 days' break. :)

I might be able to stretch it to September 22. So how about August 22 to September 22 with a 5 day break?

That's fine with me (unless some minor holiday disaster strikes).

Count me in, too! My schedule is flexible, so anytime is good :)

Anytime.

I will try to join, I think...

Oh, thank you! ^_^

That works for me too.

If all of us agree to these dates, I'll post the announcements on the schedule page after work:)

If no one else volunteers, I think I can be a discussion leader - I used to teach WH - just high school, nothing fancy, but rather thoroughly, I think. Would anyone else want to do it?

I'll do some of the admin, no worries, Bloodorange, and for me it will work if you're discussion leader. :)

Thanks and thanks, Trav:)

Thank you for offering, Bloodorange! :)

I have not read Wuthering Heights before but I've been meaning to get to it for awhile so I think I'll be joining you all for this read. :)

I have not read WH before, but would love to join in too.

Anastasia: great! the more, the merrier:)

Connie - it would be a pleasure to share another read with you.
