I've just joined as a paid subscriber and would like to prepare ahead for the Lord of the Rings and Emma challenges, since I don't own copies of either yet. Which editions do you suggest I get?
Beowulf. One I’ve yet to tackle. Maybe I’m ready now. I tried LOTR when hubby was building the online game version. While his game became a success my reading of the book was a big fail.
So much to look forward to here, John! And a diverse mix as well. I suspect I have already over committee with my own book groups next year, so I am studiously not signing up to anything else yet! Happy new year to you and yours. 🎉
John - love this ambitious plan for PCF and looking forward to watching it continue to grow. You are creating a lot of value here for your readers. I am looking forward to joining in the discussions. Happy New Year!
Wow! PCF is on a roll. I am going to love your musical comparisons, along with the literary fare. I will put the summer read along on the calendar and hope to do more than peek over the sill at that one! :-) Allegro maestoso, this!
It's seems I'll have a lot of reading next year. Thank you for sharing your researchs with us. Happy New Year to you and your family and don't forget to include your sweet doggos. ❤️
Gosh, you're going to be busy in 2024, John. I 'did' Emma for my school exams, and really enjoyed it. But, you can keep Tolkien 🤣.
Happy New Year!

Ok I’m going to try and find the Heaney Beowulf in my local bookshop or library. Never too late to try it!
The Beowulf challenge sounds like fun! Which translation do you recommend?

Laudably ambitious. Given my other reading commitments, I may coast on my past reading of Beowulf and LOTR. Looking forward to all of it!
I’m in for the Emma challenge!
Congrats on a great year. Happy New Year!
