As ever, open to anyone who has read the book and would like to come.
Miss Lucy Snowe is an amazing creation and uncomfortable company. The story is her creature — she controls what she tells, much the way M. Paul, her perplexing colleague, cuts objectionable pages out of the novels he lends her. She shares a smothering, strange tale of hard practicalities, dualities, repression and passions refracted through a fierce and thwarted intelligence. It's perfect reading for gloomy fall nights.

The very first meeting, open to any and all. Topics of discussion will include Transcendentalism, Pilgrim's Progress, potboilers, moral pap, burned breadths, pickled limes, and the difficulties of balancing necessary work with personal ambition. Stop by and have a cookie - I'm baking them myself.
(If you like to plan ahead, January's book is The Light Princess.)
