On Wednesday, April 24th at 6.15 pm in room B340, the Reading Club will meet again to talk about Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations (1861) – arguably one of Dickens’s most popular books, which has been adapted to screen many times and in various forms.
Our good old-fashioned Reading Club provides a setting in which the “classics” are discussed in an informal way. This was inspired by three observations: one, there are way too many canonical literary works that we haven’t read – but probably should; two, it might be more fun to engage with these texts when we actually get the chance to discuss our reading experience afterwards; three, despite our passion for visual media, it is sometimes nice to return to the written word.
We usually meet once a month. Drop in for just one meeting, or two, or all! If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at maren.walinski@anglistik.uni-giessen.de.
We’re looking forward to seeing you and until then, have fun reading!
Maren Walinski and Birte Christ
