With the poll officially closing tomorrow, and Persuasion being the clear winner, I thought now would be a good time to create our first discussion thread.
For those who are new, you can visit the original thread here:
http://www.online-literature.com/for...ad.php?t=45670
This book club will continue for a long time and i'm sure we will both lose and gain people along the way. With that said, you are welcome to join in and leave the discussion at any point. If you have no particular interest in reading one of the books then you are welcome to simply join in at a later date. In short - everybody is welcome to come and go as they please.
Please don't feel the need to contribute a great deal to the discussion, you don't even have to at all. If we've bled the book dry before the three months are up, that's okay too, however, I would love to see us finish all of the novels so please don't forget to come back at the end of every set of three months.
I'll create a new thread for every new Austen book we read which will include a link to both this thread, and the original.
Phew.
Based on the poll, I have compiled a list of the books we'll be reading, the order we'll be reading them in, and the time period we will be discussing them in, etc. If there is any mistake with the list, please let me know
Persuasion - From the 21st of July to October the 21st
Sense and Sensibility - From October the 22rd to January the 22rd
