I just started reading The Well Educated Mind. In it suggest having someone to dicuss the books with. I have nobody in my life to do so with so I am looking for someone or someones to take this journey with me. Anyone interested?

I'm not on the Yahoo group, but thought I'd forward a link to the Well-Educated Mind Yahoo group.

with reading The Well Educated Mind up to the point where we are suppose to start reading books? I think the first book on the list is Don Qouixte. I am new to this..........can ya tell?:p:D

Jumping in here -- yes, you'll read the "how to stuff" and then jump to the chapter on the genre you want. I think "the novel" is the first genre discussed. Don't worry about the whole "read it three times" thing, especially with something like Don Quixote. Taking little notes here and there in a notebook, or on post-its, it a good idea. Then once you read the book through, you can go back to your notes/questions re: specific passages, and re-read those sections.

My book club has been reading the novels suggested in TWEM, but I've had to drop out because of the Omnibus reading, etc. that I'm having to do. I have read all of the books up to The Return of the Native, so if you want to discuss anything, I'd love to join.

Ok, I need to reread the "how to" section and then i'll be good to go. When would discuss?
