This was great! Thank you! I read somewhere that Middlemarch was perhaps the greatest book ever written, so I tried reading it and did not get far . . . I know it was me not the book! I ordered it online last week and plan to get past page 200 before giving up this time!

You should consider joining us! I craft the reading schedule lovingly by hand by actually reading the whole book in advance and figuring out where the weekly breaks should fall... I realize $20 per class for 4 months adds up, but you could sign up for just the first six weeks and decide later if you feel like keeping reading. Or if this kind of thing is not for you — Zoom fatigue is a real thing, especially for people who spend the workday on Zoom — I completely understand. Thanks for the comment.

I applied, but for a scholarship! Maybe you never got it. I’m not sure how to communicate privately to follow up. My email is Jean. Swain.horton@gmail.com. Julia Sweeney recommended your class highly!

Ahh! Let me check with Deborah Jacobs, who works as a volunteer to run the FrizzLit scholarship program. She's the former city librarian, and those emails go straight to her.
