Your comment about Bitter as a Lemon as a book group selection gives me an idea. It’s my favorite kind of idea, because you’d have to execute it not me. But what if you hosted a Substack book group, via Zoom or Google Meet, based on a reader vote of titles you’ve covered recently? Would give your people a chance to interact and Build Community, which is what we’re all supposed to be doing here, right? I’ll send you an invoice for my consultancy work here.
As if this wasn't too much work already, omg. That's such a cool idea though. If I weren't swamped already I would actually love to do something like this. And I get your point about building community. Can I go paid before you invoice me, haha?!!!
Ha! But he's an expert, Peter. I'd wager that I'm a bedbug in comparison:-) I'll definitely think about it. I did think of sharing a reading of this. What I'm noticing is that a lot of people have an audio version of their text. That could be cool. I guess, when you can just listen to it? Hmmm..maybe I should try it next time?
You do all that hard work for me and report back from the wilderness! TY. AND DONT SELL YOURSELF SHORT. You become and expert by declaring yourself so! Now, shouldn’t you be reading a book for this weekend’s post?
Incidentally, you may want to read this one titled THE BEST OR NOTHING (https://bit.ly/3cGBOy5) and this one titled DADDYKINS SEES THE QUEEN (bit.ly/3duc8cm) and this one TOOTHLESS, WEIGHTLESS—AND SPEECHLESS—IN SARATOGA (bit.ly/3UuVWbB) and this mad video throwing shade at WaPo columnist Gene Weingarten (https://bit.ly/3kWfc0v). Totally unconnected to my weekly translation project but it's the sort of creative expression I enjoy. I have to be inspired though.
Was thinking of some of your responses today, Peter and I intend to share one of them!!!! Turns out I'm going to be talking about LETTERS FROM EVERYWHERE at Saratoga Library this weekend. More at https://bit.ly/3LFEscc
Sounds intriguing
