A friend from church who was a member of our short lived Sunday School class on Poetry has started a literary discussion group. This fellow may or may not get published (the industry being what it is currently), but I see a future for him. He is currently working on an epic poem and is now hosting this group. Our first work/author to be discussed is "Notes From Underground" by Fyodor Dostoevsky. I think this is great opportunity for me because I had been wanting to read the Russian authors and understand their ways of creating novels (as well as good entertainment). I have known that I needed help on characterization in my stories (and dialog, etc.) and I think that Dostoevsky is a master of characters and human nature.
Well there will be more to come on what I will have learned and various commentary on the works that we will analyze.
