Expect Nothing More March 25, 2009

Ok — here’s the plan for the end of Great Expectations. No BBC Saturday, March 28. Keep reading, though. We should finish the book by Saturday, April 4. Shanda had two suggestions for meeting places for the 4th, so we’ll plan on one of them once she posts.

Look for an email about BBC Movie Night.

For March 21, let’s try for House of Commons again 🙂

We’re doing 10 more chapters, so read through chapter 40, and we’ll see you on Saturday at 10:30. We’re looking at the Anthony Hopkins version (which is almost a mini-series) for movie night(s), and trying to figure out dates that will work for all of us.

Let’s read the next 10 chapters — that means read through Chapter 30, and meet at House of Commons at 10:30.

And as discussed, if you want to pick up the next book we’ll be reading, it’s Dave Eggers’ What is the What.

Even though we didn’t meet last week, let’s keep making forward progress. Read through Chapter 20 for this week. It’s been a while since we visited Stella, right? Let’s give her a little BBC support and meet at Stella’s on Pearl at 10:30.
