A Jane Austen Education: How Six Novels Taught Me About Love, Friendship, and the Things That Really Matter

We'll be starting our discussion of A Jane Austen Education: How Six Novels Taught Me About Love, Friendship, and the Things That Really Matter by William Deresiewicz on February 14, 2012. And since we'll be going chapter by chapter, I wanted to post the discussion schedule:

• Chapter 1 - February 14th
• Chapter 2 - February 17th
• Chapter 3 - February 20th
• Chapter 4 - February 23rd
• Chapter 5 - February 26th
• Chapter 6 - February 29th
• Chapter 7 and Book Overall - March 3rd

Discussion prompts and a general invitation to comment on each chapter will be posted on the corresponding dates. Please finish each chapter on time so we can enjoy one another's thoughts and insights before moving on to the next.

At the moment, I believe I'll be the only one posting general discussion topics, but if you find a particular topic needs more space for comments, feel free to post a separate entry on that topic. I hope this provides everyone with a sense of how we'll be discussing the book, but if you have any questions or concerns, let me know!

Welcome to book_flakes, a community of great book fondness...and rather nebulous intent. Please feel free to join in the discussion! And though I hardly expect anything else, please remember to direct any disagreements or criticism at the content of a user’s post and not the user, him/herself.
