Well, here we are. The journey has lasted a year now, and we've read some challenging and stimulating material along the way. We've had some times of insightful and thoughtful discussion, and times where busy schedules clearly cramped those efforts. Being the victim of the latter on many occasions, I have, regretfully, fallen behind on my own ability to participate in the discussions. It would seem contrary to the virtue of this group to continue monthly assigned readings merely for the principle of it without being able to commit the appropriate time and effort needed.
Therefore, the book/post for this month will mark the beginning of an indefinite break from the monthly readings. Hopefully, this will allow the veteran members of the group to catch up, while also allowing the newer members to read some of the previous texts which they were not around to enjoy.
In light of this, we close with a doozy. The Brothers Karamazov has been a staple in world literature for years, and contains plenty of characters, situations, questions, and ideas to inculcate the kind of cogent discussion that is characteristic of this group. Let's do it!
