Of course, you can join the party! I'm going to be starting a little late because I'm trying to finish up my taxes, but please join in. I think we'll need as many brains as we can get to figure this one out. :-)Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495382709151625398.post-34515204635213634792016-04-27T18:56:27.820-07:002016-04-27T18:56:27.820-07:00Hello Cleo!

I'm being accused ..... oops, make that <i>mentioned</i> in a few blogs as being a reading instigator. I am very curious as to whether people will thank me at the end of the year, or if I'll have to run! ;-) Hee hee!

Are you sure it wasn't your idea? I just can't remember...<br /><br />Whatever the case I'm really excited to start reading Spenser. As you know the first read for me was an absolute mess, but I'm really hopeful this time. I do actually think we'll enjoy this - I did approach it as something I ought to do, but I'm very sure this is going to be good fun :)ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245931629228090133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495382709151625398.post-84615599901396899662016-03-21T09:35:23.657-07:002016-03-21T09:35:23.657-07:00I love Greek epic poetry (after thinking that I...I love Greek epic poetry (after thinking that I'd hate it), but I'm a little less comfortable with the medievals. We'll see how it goes. I hope you do read it one day.
