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.

Book Title	Author	Genre
Pride and Predjudice	Jane Austen	Romance
Emma	Jane Austen	Romance, Comedy, Historical
Andersen Fairy Tales (Various)	Hans Christian Andersen	Fairy Tales

A time and date will be settled on and pinned so please keep an eye out for notifications. More details to follow. Thank you.

You already know you have my interest, but if there is anything I can do to assist, I would be happy to help in any way I can. My time is yours, Ms. Steinbeck.

Additionally, I have some suggested reading from Faerun of both the fictional and non-fictional variety that others may find interesting.

Murder in Cormyr - A thrilling mystery tale for those who enjoy a good whodunnit.
Fables of Faerun - A collection of morality stories and fairy tales meant to both entertain and educate.
Magic of the Weave: An Introduction - An exceptionally thorough introduction to the Weave and its workings, including practical spellcasting exercises and extensive magic theory accessible even to those just starting out, or those who are curious about the history of magic and how it came to our world. I can admit some bias, here.

On an unrelated note, you seem to have quite a handle on how to use these devices of ours. If it's not too much trouble, could I ask for your assistance when you have a few free moments? I have not yet sorted how to capitalize letters on their own, and switching it on and off has been painstakingly slow.

Greetings,

I cannot say if I am particularly skilled in discussion, but I would be interested in joining. You're certainly right that books seem to be a universal constant.

Dear Ms. Steinbeck,

This is a terrific idea! What a great way to bring guests together.

Shall we scout some potential meeting places together? I suppose the library would be most ideal, but I feel that food and drink would really make these discussions much more welcoming, too. I am happy to handle that part of it. What do you think?

Sincerely,
SH.

What a wonderful idea! I will happily join.

If you're amenable to a book series rather than a single novel as a suggestion, I would like to put forward A Legend of Sword by Zhenyu. The story is quite engaging, and Calx's illustrations are quite beautiful.

A book club? That sounds delightful. I'm not familiar with these titles; can they be found here in the hotel?

I'll put some thought into my own suggestions; I'm afraid my usual reading material likely wouldn't appeal to a broader crowd.
