SEXES&SCHOLARS: Fabulous

The Nightingales of Troy

Welcome to The Nightingales of Troy...

BLOG ONE WEDNESDAY JUNE 1ST-ARYANA
First Week Team Leader Blogger Question for Discussion is,“Time is one of the book’s large themes. ‘And though my children were sleeping the sleep of the just, I half believed my unvoiced thoughts would reach them across that room full of twentieth-century light,’ Mamie thinks at the end of the first story. What do her thoughts suggest about time?”
(remember we have a week to respond, but be courteous to your team leader's prompt address of the question)

BLOG 2 WEDNESDAY JUNE 8TH-TANYA
Week 2 Team Leader Blogger Question for Discussion is,“Alice Fulton has called the past ‘the ultimate foreign country.’ The Nightingales of Troy covers a century with remarkable attention to detail. It’s full of fascinating period objects and artifacts, from cosmetics to medical equipment. How do these cultural objects and markers deepen your sense of the past?”

Meeting Wednesday, June 16th from 4-6ish in room CC3345. We will do the book vote around 5:30 pm. Those of you who cannot make it to the book vote can vote via email. I will send you packets of the selections and then you can email me back with your picks. Let me know if you are interested!

Fabulous

Thank you Victoria for providing the maps and links out to related info...giving context is a great idea. Plus, quite fond of the wallpaper. Fitting choice. Most of all, I really appreciate the clear directions on what to do next. I literally roll home after eleven after a day that starts way too early and by that time I just need to pour my brain into a pre-constructed mold. So, nice mold! Now, many pages to read before tomorrow.
