\o/ So, I've had the Gormenghast trilogy sitting on my shelves for a while now, but I kept getting interrupted by other things--pesky work and all that mess. But now I have an excuse to read the texts. Jackie at Farm Lane Books is hosting a Gormenghast read-along over the summer (btw, thanks Ellie for letting me know about it).
Here is what Jackie writes about it:
Wednesday is Gormenghast Day!
For the next few months this blog will celebrate Gormenghast every Wednesday.The schedule for the read-along is detailed below. It would be great if different people could lead the discussion each week so that you don’t just get my opinion (and I don’t get Gormenghast post burnout!). If you’d like to volunteer to write a Gormenghast post at some point during the read-along then please leave a comment below. You don’t have to have a blog – I’d love non-bloggers to take part too.
