On April 11th we will start to read aloud ourselves : J B Priestly, An Inspector Calls. This is an experiment and we’ll see how we get on.
On April 18th (and thereafter) we will continue to read aloud from J B Priestley’s ‘An Inspector Calls’. We will start on that day on page 23 (The other four exchange bewildered and perturbed glances.) I expect we will finish talking about it on April 25th. It is interesting…..
On 18th April we read up to page 43 in in the EINFach Englisch edition and I expect that next week we’ll read to page 59 (near the bottom). We’ll only finish on May 2nd.
It seems that the reading aloud is an interesting experience and everybody has been reading very convincingly!
So we can expect to start reading ‘Olive Kitteridge’ by Elizabeth Strout on May 2nd. You can browse in it if you buy it earlier. I can’t find any second hand copies. Please get the same edition :
Elizabeth Strout: Olive Kitteridge (Scribner) ISBN 9781849831550
There is a picture of a lighthouse on the cover.
