There is a new online book club, The Literary Classics Online Book Club, which plans to read a classic work of literature every other month. The first month TLCOBC will post interesting facts and background information on their blog and social media sites while everyone reads (or listens to) the book. Then the second month, the club will host discussions about the book for anyone to participate in. The first book they have chosen to read is Hamlet by William Shakespeare, often considered one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays. Andrew Kern from The Circe Institute has spoken and written about this play many times and is he is in the middle of a podcast series on Hamlet (the first of which you can find here). Before listening to the podcasts I have been meaning to re-read the play and this seems like the perfect opportunity. Besides, wouldn’t it be fun to read the play, listen to Andrew talk about it and then join in a discussion? Who’s game?
