The Magicians

There is a new HBO series called “The Girls” ( http://www.hbo.com/girls/index.html ), which I think relates to “Sex in the City” in a similar way as “The Magicians” relate to “Harry Potter”.
This can be viewed as a new depressed trend… or a realistic view… or an eye opening alarm… of a newer generation.
Another point for discussion.

Hi Everyone,

I ran across Leonard Nimoy reading of the Raymond Carver short story that was the subject of a recent meeting on Selected Shorts on NPR.  It looks like I’m a week too late to give you a good link to it.  NPR lets you play only the last 5 episodes (as far as I can tell).  This one played on January 29, 2012.  Sorry about that.  Nevertheless, maybe some of you download the podcasts.  I’ve been in love with Leonard Nimoy for as long as I can remember (in his Spock incarnation), so it was fun to hear.

I miss you all,

Charlotte

Trying to get through The Portrait of a Lady in a few weeks was a bit daunting for very busy people like us, so we are pushing back our next meeting to April 1 at Lisa’s. We will re-schedule our meeting for Augustus accordingly.
