Next Week and Beyond..

Thanks, Charles for being so patient with the holiday slump! We have a few weeks before Christmas, and I was hoping Jenna would pick for the next discussion.

After that, so close to Christmas, we'll all probably be pretty busy, but I want to try to keep some sort of conversation alive..so I thought we could pick a movie and slowly discuss that for a few weeks..something with meat to it, but not terribly distracting, any suggestions?

Discussion began below..

In the previous post. Laura began, and Seth offered his thoughts..join in!

Pre-Holiday Slump..

For those of you who have been, like me, filling your days with things unrelated to blogging, I want to give an extra chance to appreciate the story that Charles has selected..and since this week is Thanksgiving, and I'll be busy all day Tuesday-Thursday making good things to eat and feeding the stoves, I decided to extend the reading through next week. Charles, I'm so sorry all this delay had to fall on your story.

If you haven't wandered over to Charles 'dropbox' yet to download the file, do so! The story is fascinating. I think we have a lot to discuss her (I'll post a Subject for discussion when Yarrow isn't being quite so distracting).

So let's get back on track folks!

Selection #4: From Charles

How about a selection from the beginning Jorge Luis Borges's Ficciones? In particular the Prologue to the first section and then the first story, "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius"?

If that sounds like a plan, let me know. Ficciones is available in stand-alone format or as part of a big collection of Borges's Collected Fictions that was released a few years ago. I can provide a PDF of scanned pages for the selection for anyone who needs it.

(Charles will be sending me a PDF, and I'll probably just send it out to everyon - except Charlie, whose e-mail I don't have yet - feel free to fix that, Charlie, by sending me a message at cyganeria.milika@gmail.com. )

The 4th Selection goes to...

Charles!

Sorry I'm late at sharing. Charles, I know we haven't really seen you in the discussions, so if you don't have the time just let me know!
