Plays

[close] Tucked away on a side street in Leisure World Seal Beach, a group gathers to read books, host society and enjoy the life of retirement. Our group meets weekly. We welcome those who want to chat for the first part of our meeting. Then we read allowed a portion of the book followed by a reading at home assignment. We follow this format until the book is completed. Books are chosen at random with no guidelines. Occasionally we vote to discontinue reading a book, but not often. Read along with us. Send us questions. Post a comment, and of course, recommend a book.

[close] In this group we will be tackling the complete works of William Shakespeare, one play per month, in whatever order I can justify at the time. I'll be posting a general discussion, as well as a deep dive into a specific passage, for each play on my booktube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5qBKZan4C7SMcuy5VIPFMQ). If you also make a video (or blog post), do post it in the appropriate thread. Upcoming Schedule: July 2018 - Othello August 2018 - Much Ado About Nothing September 2018 - The Winter's Tale

You're walking deep into the dark woods, following the glowing stones that gently light up the pathway. The summer breeze cools your skin, and you close your eyes to breathe in the beautiful scent of the trees. Sometimes you see a fluffy tawny owl perched high up on the branches, its beady eyes quietly looking down at you, and other times you spot a sleek red fox nearby, quickly running away before you come near it. The soft moonlight shines down upon the enchanted forest, and eventually, you reach your destination. In front of you is an old large tree, with a magical wooden door appearing from nowhere. A sign is written, saying: A Little Tree Hollow. You hear the light echoes of fairy music coming from behind it, and the delicious scent of cookies wafts out through the gaps. Like always, you knock on the door, and the secret magical treehouse opens itself for you to enter. officially started on Jan. 19th, 2022
