Reading for 8/13

Dropped the baby. A few of us have been out of town most of this past week and so, as you see, in my preoccupations I did not post. We’ll record this as a ‘week off’ in order to spare me the guilt. Convening again next Tuesday, August 13th to read Turgenev’s Fathers and Sons, from the top to Ch. 18, stopping at p. 66. Apologies if you showed up tonight expecting a discussion — perhaps one happened anyway! See you soon.
