By The Book, SAR’s international book club, finished it’s second selection, 12th Night, An Oxfordian Edition recently. We met 6 times online. The first 5 times were to read aloud together one act of the play. (There are 5 acts) The last time we met was for our formal book club meeting with Michael Delahoyde, the editor of our book selection.
The read alouds were a blast. It was great to hear the play with individual voices and tripping along at a conversational pace. The play came to life.
The conversations after the read alouds and during the club meeting were varied and fun with great participation. Sometimes we would go down a rabbit hole and start looking things up. Some of the more obscure topics that surfaced included “railing”, “Giordano Bruno”, and epiphany. I guess you had to be there.
For our next book selection we will be reading Necessary Mischief by Bonner Miller Cutting and Bonner has agreed to join us for the final club meeting, Saturday June 25, 2022 at 10 AM PDT.
Our first meeting will be in April. Buy the book now so you can participate.
