Kristen | 7 comments Perhaps not in 2012 but I think the group should read Orlando and start a discussion on that piece of literature.

Kathleen (k8mcgowan) | 5 comments Agreed. I also love that "Reading Orlando in 2012" sounds like a great book. :)

Could we read the major novels in the order she wrote them?


Kristen | 7 comments we just need a few more people to commit to reading this. I would love to get this going sometime soon. Maybe we should shoot for January 2013?


Michelle (michellecw) | 1 comments January 2013 would be good for me. I read Orlando once and loved it. I have wanted to read it again for quite a while.

Sheila | 1 comments I haven't read Orlando yet. I'll get it started and maybe can enter the discussion in January.

Do you mean a live chat meeting? I know that you can chat with several people in one window via Google chat.

We will need to share our gmail addresses and find a time which works for everybody then.

Let's go for it!!!!

P.S. How do we create a "challenge" for this group (like, Read 5 Woolf novels in 2013)? That could be a fun way to keep us on it. since I'm sure that we're all super busy.


Wouter (_drakenvlieg) | 5 comments I have read the novel only once at unversity during a Virginia Woolf course so now would be a good time to enjoy it instead of studying it. Can't make any promises, but I will definitely try to.


Kristen | 7 comments I still want to do this. I have never belonged to a group like this would someone take the leadership role? I think someone with experience would be helpful to the group.


Jimmy (jimmylorunning) | 2 comments I second a resuscitation attempt for this group! Will someone who knows CPR please step up?

Wouter (_drakenvlieg) | 5 comments I have created a new reading group (Moments of Reading) just to get moderator rights. If you could join this group, we can have a discussion about how to read Orlando and which topics we want to discuss.

Kristen | 7 comments I this that new group for Orlando would be great. I really have no idea how to be the moderator so I appreciate this a lot. This is my first group!


Kristen | 7 comments I just started to read "The Letters of Vita Sackville West to Virginia Woolf" which is helping me to understand VW inspiration for the book Orlando. I am fascinated and can't put this book down.
