sunday salon: the fall shared reads plus a madame bovary giveaway

It must feel like I have been gong on about the new Lydia Davis translation of Madame Bovary for a while. Because I am very excited. Go back to this post to see. And now the time is upon us and I really hope you are still interested. As a reminder, here is the reading schedule:

    Part 1: Thursday, October 14 (58 pages) 

Part 2: Thursday, October 21 (141 pages) 

Part 3: Thursday, October 28 (106 pages)

As an added incentive to join us, Penguin has provided ten contest copies to be given away here. Just comment below before end of day Wednesday for a chance. If you would like to join the read but not the contest, let me know that too please so that I can compile a participant list.

 

And then in November, I am set on taking on the new Pevear and Volokhonsky translation of Boris Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago. Reading schedule to come but there will be ten copies of that up for grabs too, this time from Knopf. Maybe you would like to join in for this instead/too?

Today I am really enjoying American Terroir by Rowan Jacobsen. What are you reading in the Sunday Salon today?
