Reading guides accompany each box of books and the questions provided can be used to frame each group’s discussion.

BOOK GROUPS A book extremely popular either with Group Name Melbourne City Readers FAVOURITE other groups or with Book Groups staff 4 Join Start your own book club or join an existing one in your area. How do I start a CAE Book Group? CAE Book Groups is a great way to connect with other readers in your local community. Get together with friends, neighbours or colleagues to discuss the sort of books that might appeal to you as a group and choose a suitable time and venue. Once you have between 8-15 people and have decided on the number of discussion meetings you would like to have, you are ready to take the next step of electing a CAE Book Group Secretary. The CAE Book Group Secretary CAE Book Group Secretaries provide a permanent delivery address for books and liaise with CAE staff on book selections, payments and enquiries from potential new members. Secretaries are vital to the success of book clubs and ensure CAE keeps in touch with the needs of each group. The role of secretary can be rotated between group members from year to year. Where do CAE Book Groups meets and how often? CAE Book Groups meet approximately once a month (6, 9 or 11 times a year). Groups choose the time, place and format of their own meetings and direct their own discussions. Books available for loan Each month, CAE selects a book from the list of possible titles your group has chosen from Dialogue. Groups have the option of requesting books in priority or random order. CAE discussion notes Kick start your meeting with CAE discussion notes. While there is no formal tuition or assessment, all books are accompanied by specially commissioned notes, complete with discussion questions. More than just a book review, the notes are guaranteed to get your group talking. How much time do we have to read the book before the discussion? One month. Books are delivered to the Group Secretary prior to the scheduled meeting. Members collect their copy of the book from the secretary then meet again the following month to discuss the book they’ve just read and collect their next book. How do we receive and return books? CAE sends a box in advance of each meeting to the delivery address nominated by the Group Secretary. Books are returned to CAE by the Group Secretary via courier or post. Reply-paid slips are included in all boxes. Groups operate most efficiently when books are returned to and collected from the Group Secretary by each individual member at the scheduled meeting. What do I get for my fee? Fees cover the delivery and return of book boxes each month. Each box contains copies of the selected book (maximum 15 copies) and notes on loan for each individual member. Group Secretaries should only distribute books to paid members. Group members can also sign up for six editions of CAE Book Groups Newsletter to receive timely news on events and competitions as well as book reviews by CAE Book Groups staff.

Teiln.: 25 Schaff, Barbara Mi 10:00 - 12:00 Raum: Jacob-Grim SEP 0.244 , wöchentlich Fr - Abgabe Hausarbeit am: 27.03.2015 Kommentar The much-acclaimed BBC TV Series The Hollow Crown (2012) is an adaptation of Shakespeare's Henriad (Richard II, Henry IV, Part 1, Henry IV, Part 2 and Henry V). This course will look at formals aspects (how the four plays are transformed into the structure of a TV family drama, how the format of the series informs plot narration, by which means how thematic coherence is enforced and how visual language changes); it will address the issue of intermediality and ask about the intersection between the global commodification of the product Shakespeare and the national celebration of British literary heritage. This course hopes to find interested students who have a basic knowledge of the format of TV series and are willing to come to the course well prepared -i.e. with a profound knowledge of the textual sources (i.e. the plays named above). Although we will frequently compa- re the plays to their TV adaptation, there will be no time to read them extensively in class. Hence, participation will depend on the successful passing of a test on the content of the plays during the first meeting. Registration: in StudIP until 20 October. 4500873 Irish-Canadian Literature / Representations of the Irish in Canadian Literature Hauptseminar SWS: 2; Anz.

  • Award Winning Novels: Plot Summaries for Books in Bayside's Resource Centre (Courtesy of Chapters Website)
    Award Winning Novels: Plot Summaries for Books in Bayside's Resource Centre (Courtesy of Chapters website) Man Booker Award Winners Mantel, Hilary. Bring Up the Bodies. By 1535 Thomas Cromwell, the blacksmith''s son, is far from his humble origins. Chief Minister to Henry VIII, his fortunes have risen with those of Anne Boleyn, Henry''s second wife, for whose sake Henry has broken with Rome and created his own church. But Henry''s actions have forced England into dangerous isolation, and Anne has failed to do what she promised: bear a son to secure the Tudor line. When Henry visits Wolf Hall, Cromwell watches as Henry falls in love with the silent, plain Jane Seymour. The minister sees what is at stake: not just the king''s pleasure, but the safety of the nation. As he eases a way through the sexual politics of the court, and its miasma of gossip, he must negotiate a "truth" that will satisfy Henry and secure his own career. But neither minister nor king will emerge undamaged from the bloody theatre of Anne''s final days. Barnes, Julian. The Sense of An Ending. The story of a man coming to terms with the mutable past, Julian Barnes''s new novel is laced with his trademark precision, dexterity and insight. It is the work of one of the world''s most distinguished writers. Webster and his clique first met Adrian Finn at school. Sex-hungry and book-hungry, they navigated the girl drought of gawky adolescence together, trading in affectations, in-jokes, rumour and wit.

  • (Courtesy of Chapters Website) Current As of July 2018
    Award Winning Books: Plot Descriptions (Courtesy of Chapters website) Current as of July 2018 Man Booker Award Winners Sanders, George. Lincoln in Bardo. ​ February 1862. The Civil War is less than one year old. The fighting has begun in earnest, and the nation has begun to realize it is in for a long, bloody struggle. Meanwhile, President Lincoln’s beloved eleven-year-old son, Willie, after a grave illness, dies and is laid to rest in a Georgetown cemetery. Newspapers report that a grief-stricken Lincoln returns, alone, to the crypt several times to hold his boy’s body. From that seed of historical truth, George Saunders spins an unforgettable story of familial love and loss that breaks free of its realistic, historical framework into a supernatural realm both hilarious and terrifying. Willie Lincoln finds himself in a strange purgatory where ghosts mingle, gripe, commiserate, quarrel, and enact bizarre acts of penance. Within this transitional state—called, in the Tibetan tradition, the bardo—a monumental struggle erupts over young Willie’s soul. Beatty, Paul. The Sellout. ​ A biting satire about a young man's isolated upbringing and the race trial that sends him to the Supreme Court. Born in the "agrarian ghetto" of Dickens-on the southern outskirts of Los Angeles-the narrator was raised by a single father, who leads him to believe that his pioneering work will result in a memoir that will solve his family's financial woes. But when his father is killed in a police shootout, he realizes there never was a memoir. All that's left is the bill for a drive-thru funeral.

    Award Winning Novels: Plot Summaries for Books in Bayside's Resource Centre: Feb. 2016 (Courtesy of Chapters website) Man Booker Award Winners Catton, Eleanor. The Luminaries. In January 1866, young Walter Moody lands in a gold-mining frontier town on the west coast of New Zealand to make his fortune and forever leave behind a family scandal. On arrival, he stumbles across a tense gathering of twelve local men who have met in secret to investigate what links three crimes that occurred on a single day: the town's wealthiest man has vanished. An enormous fortune has been discovered in the home of a luckless drunk. A prostitute has supposedly tried to end her life. But nothing is quite as it seems. As the men share their stories, what emerges is an intricate network of alliances and betrayals, secrets and lies, that is as exquisitely patterned as the night sky. Barnes, Julian.

His office is a bulletproof van. He’s on the right side of the law, sort of… Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer. He works out of a customized bulletproof van, complete with Wi-Fi, a bar, a small fridge, fine leather chairs, a hidden gun compartment, and a heavily armed driver. He has no firm, no partners, no associates, and only one employee, his driver, who’s also his bodyguard, law clerk, confidant, and golf caddy. He lives alone in a small but extremely safe penthouse apartment, and his primary piece of furniture is a vintage pool table. He drinks small-batch bourbon and carries a gun. Sebastian defends people other lawyers won’t go near: a drug-addled, tattooed kid rumored to be in a satanic cult, who is accused of molesting and murdering two little girls; a vicious crime lord on death row; a homeowner arrested for shooting at a SWAT team that mistakenly invaded his house. Why these clients? Because he believes everyone is entitled to a fair trial, even if he, Sebastian, has to cheat to secure one. He hates injustice, doesn’t like insurance companies, banks, or big corporations; he distrusts all levels of government and laughs at the Justice system’s notions of ethical behavior. Sebastian Rudd is one of John Grisham’s most colorful, outrageous, and vividly drawn characters yet.

    FICTION MonthFebruary CARRYTITLE ME Subtitle AUTHORPETER NAMEBEHRENS Lead“A truly quote wonderful — credit writer.” — Montreal Gazette Billy Lange is born in 1909 on the Isle of Wight, England, where his father is the skipper of a racing yacht belonging to a wealthy German-Jewish baron. As a child, Billy is entranced by the baron’s daughter, the elusive and willful Karin von Wein- brenner. After the First World War, Karin and Billy are reunited on the baron’s Frankfurt estate, where they bond over their fascination with the Wild West novels of Karl May, the most popular author in the German language. Over the years, Billy and Karin’s childhood friendship deepens and transforms into a complex love affair with extraordinarily high stakes. Com- ing of age in Frankfurt and Berlin, Billy and Karin share a passion for speed, jazz, and nightclubs. As society loses its moral bearings and Germany marches toward the Second World War, they also share a dream of escape — from Germany, from history — to El Llano Estacado, May’s richly imag- ined New Mexico landscape. An intriguing cast of characters braid this har- rowing story together, transporting the reader from a golden Edwardian summer on the Isle of Wight, to London under Zeppelin attack, to Ireland on FICTION / Literary the brink of its War of Independence, and at last 978-1-77089-999-5 to Germany during the darkening Weimar period. 6 x 9 • 448 pages Brilliantly conceived, deeply researched, and Hardcover with jacket • $32.00 profoundly moving, Carry Me is an unusual love story, an historical epic, and a lucid meditation on 978-1-4870-0000-4 Europe’s violent twentieth century.
