One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other. (original) (raw)

Welcome everyone [whether I know you or not] to read_austen!

This is the brainchild of my mind at four in the morning, with a beautiful dose of aid from Belinda [belle_bing] and we are both pleased to have you all here with us. Our first book and discussion will be on 13 July to give everyone plenty of time to leisurely enjoy reading

Mansfield Park

and to get into the spirit of the thing. The first discussion will be posted here in the community and in that discussion, we'll have a thread discussing the best night and time for a movie night.

Since you are all probably curious how discussions will probably go, one of us will post the discussion post with a few starting off points and then we'll pretty much let it go from there. If things are lagging/dying, we'll do our collective best to pep them up, but mostly we don't want to restrict things or hold anyone back. The point of this is a collective read, not a forced flashback to primary school.

SO mostly, thank you everyone and in the meantime, happy reading!
