My first update:

I'm going to be completely honest--I am enjoying this so much more than I expected! The first 2021 Classic Lit discussion is going to be fantastic!

Courtney | 49 comments This book is amusing, long, and way over my head... and I'm enjoying it immensely! I can't wait to hear people's interpretations (and hopefully observations of lots of symbolism that I'm missing)! :)

I'm in the same boat. I'm really enjoying the wit and sarcasm in it. :)

I'm not sure if there is something wrong with my particular download, but I was just listening to the audiobook on Hoopla while following along with a hard copy, and suddenly 10 pages were missing. So, in the middle of Chapter 4, while Orlando is with the Archduke, it suddenly cut to 10 pages later and a bunch of characters I'd never met. If this happens to anyone listening to the audiobook, you can always check out the ebook from Hoopla and search the text for Fly Loo and that will get you where you need to go. Read until you hit: "After three hours, she curtseyed profoundly and left."

Interesting article I just read about the book: https://www.theguardian.com/books/201...

Sent. Let me know if you don't get it. Sadly, the library's emails have a bad habit of going to spam, so double check there.

Selena Pigoni (sailorstar165) | 48 comments I never got the email, and it's not in my spam, so I'm not sure what happened... :(

That is really bizarre. Glad I just DMed it on Twitter then. Please feel free to let me know in future if you don't get it. I generally send them Monday morning before the meeting.
