Midpoint

We are almost halfway through the summer! Things are going well. I would like to acknowledge everyone who has shown interest in this reading group, but has been unable to attend any meetings. If you would still like to join in, perhaps later in the season, please feel free. If the time or date of a meeting doesn't work, let us know! We want to have as many perspectives as possible! And if you don't like what the group is reading, read something else and talk to us about it! We're all kinda geeky like that.

So the meeting to discuss Dostoyevsky's Underground Man/Notes From the Underground will take place tomorrow, Monday the 22nd at my house (in Kensington), 7pm as usual. Please try to make it!

Progress

We've finished with Sartre, had a quick poetry lesson from Irving Layton, and now the group has elected to read Dostoyevsky's Underground Man. Next meeting we will be discussing the first half of the book at Laura's house.
Sunday June 21st @7pm

To keep us engaged:

I've been dipping into David Harvey's Condition of Post-Modernity. It has given me a greater understanding of the recent sea change in western critical and cultural thought. It is a very broad analysis, and maybe even too sweeping, but to approach the wide-ranging topics with any more depth would require multiple authors. I would recommend the first three chapters to anyone in the arts, humanities, sciences or illegal drug trades.

What else is everyone reading?
