Upcoming calendar upgrade: Yahoo! Groups calendars are being upgraded to a much improved version. You may not have access to the calendar (for up to 24 hours) when this group is upgraded. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience.
Description
Here is a reading group for sharing questions, comments and observations as we read together through the works of Robert Louis Stevenson. The manager of the group is Robert-Louis Abrahamson, helped out by Richard Dury.
To start with, we've decided to read through the essays in approximate order of writing--just three essays a week, starting with a trial period September-December 2007. The programme is below; you'll find texts of the essays in the 'Files' section of the site (under "upcoming programme"). Robert-Louis will write an introductory message for each essay to set the ball rolling.
When you reply, please remove as much as possible of the previous message as possible (just the briefest quotes from what someone else has said) to make reading easier.
UPCOMING PROGRAMME
(unless otherwise agreed, RLA will also write composition and publication notes)
The Day After To-morrow (Alex)
Books Which Have Influenced Me(Richard)
The Manse: A Fragment (Lesley)
Thomas Stevenson, Civil Engineer (Robert)
