Greetings,
This is Amelia Steinbeck, a guest at the Hotel Caelum, and resident of Room 700.
It appears that books are a universal constant and so I am bestowing an open invitation to other guests who are interested in discussing fiction and nonfiction so that we can bridge cultural gaps and gain further understanding of other cultures and customs through the medium of literature.
Here is a sample of what we'll be reading to discuss as a group. I am open to other suggestions and the structure will be loose; you need not read these if you have a book you'd like to read silently during and after discussions.
A time and date will be settled on and pinned so please keep an eye out for notifications. More details to follow. Thank you.

is it because of pleasure?
or because it reminds you of work

I teach literature at a high school level (think ages 15-18) and while I enjoy my job, talking about books with other enthusiasts is different from students who are still developing their critical thinking skills.
And aside from Advanced Placement courses, Pride and Prejudice is not material I would have on my curriculum. Each generation needs to be exposed to stories that are culturally resonant and relevant.
Basically, in so many words, I just think an easygoing book club would be fun. No papers to grade.

But! He can't criticize her for doing what she enjoys on vacation. Isn't that what they're all here for, anyway?]
i suppose pleasure and busines sometimes intersect
but just soy ou know, I'm not a schoolboy in need of teaching
