Ok, I'm a seriously negligent blogger, but that doesn't mean that there aren't things brewing. Cause there definitely are. We're moving ahead with plans for April 1st, where we'll have two showings of the movie and two panel discussions. Those begin at 9:30. Further details will follow.
In addition, our intrepid Roy Hill is moving ahead on a presentation on the guns used in the novel. They're very important, he says, and indicate lots of subtext and interesting ideas that might be missed if you don't know lots about guns. His presentation will, hopefully, include a demonstration and firing of some of those guns. Needless to say, we'll need some preparation for that.
I've also asked people to figure out and tell us when they'll be reading the novel with with their classes and if they'll be open to having guests during those times.
I'm getting lots of good information, too. Here's a nice link.
Lots more news coming. Watch this space, as they say.
i think that showing the movie would get people interested in the story and those that are doing the story in class will want to get together to watch it as a class.
