Hey everyone, a precious little gift I had ordered for myself a couple weeks ago arrived in the mail today!
I finally received the paperback edition of Ayn Rand's dystopian fiction novella, Anthem, I had ordered online a while back. My precioussss!
Having read Atlas Shrugged and really enjoying it, I wanted to read more of Rand's work, as I resonate very strongly with much of her philosophy and ideological foundations. I started reading Anthem over Christmas break in the states--picking it up from a friend's bookshelf--but as the hustle bustle of the holidays was a factor, I wasn't able to finish it.
What is KafkA's book club and how does it work?
Basically, I want to read and discuss some books, with a hub for said discussion here on Steemit. Anyone who wants to join just needs to get a copy of the book being read (or an online version) and read along as we go in sections (post installments) making our way through each work.
Discussion can take many forms. Users making their own posts should use the tag #kafkasbookclub. Users wishing to discuss the book, but not make their own posts can simply comment on the "hub posts" here on my blog page. This post is the callout for those who wish to join this "round" and discuss Anthem.
Since Anthem is just a novella, and is very short, only three posts will be needed here on my blog for this book: this post, a post reviewing parts 1 - 6, and then a post reviewing parts 7 - 12 along with final thoughts on the work.
Discussion of parts 1 - 6 will be posted here on my blog next week! If you wish to join in, get your copy, and let's read! looking forward to your comments and original posts!
Don't forget the tag, #kafkasbookclub!
(ALSO! No spoilers! Please don't ruin the experience for others by discussing parts/chapters before we've read them!)
