(I believe it was Brandon and Sara(h).)
Kelli and I are totally in for some of these. Bring on Moby Dick!
This will also be a good way to make me read Great Expectations which I have started three times and can't seem to get through 50 pages. I've read a good number of classics but for some reason I just can't hang with Dickens!
Speaking of books that will never be classics. How about this?
Really Zondervan? Really?

My brother in law works for Zondervan. I will proceed to give him all kinds of crap.
Have you read The Brothers Karamazov?
yeah, i read it two summers ago. why do you ask?
Just curious what you thought of it. I am readin me some Nietzsche now.

what Nietzsche book are you reading?
Great Expectations is so long because when it was written Dickens wrote a chapter each week that they published in a newspaper. He drug it out as long as he could so he could keep getting paid. He also changed the ending because it disappointed all the readers. Just a little Dickens trivia for you. There's a good movie version of it with Robert DeNiro in it.
Hey, man, sorry about the Cubs. Again.
Yes, that was Brandon & me! I think we are going to try and do several of the classes, so let me know which ones you guys are going to, and we can join forces. I took a class on moby dick in college, so I will probably skip that one. I think we are going to try Master and Margherita in December. We will tell you how the Gogol one goes this month. ~sarah
Hey Kelli, it is called the "Basic Writings of Nietzsche." It is more of a compilation. It includes in full form "The Birth of Tragedy," "Beyond Good and Evil," and "On the Genealogy of Morals."

Hey Jeff,
That was actually me, i just accidentally posted while Kelli was logged in.
Is this Jeff Schmitt? Or another Jeff?
Ah, that's right Sarah. Let us know how the one in December is. It would be fun to pick one that the four of us could all read so we would at least know a few people in the discussion.
