Group information
We are a group of people who behave as friends and read and discuss Anthony Trollope, any 19th texts by other authors and 20th century one relevant to Trollope, by authors as supremely good as he is as a writer People are invited to discuss other books they are reading at the same time, and any movies or art seen and music heard. Everyone is asked to use his or her real name, provide a brief introduction, and behave courteously. We have an informal calendar schedule, don’t practice spoiler warnings or a volunteer system for posting summaries. We discuss relevant politics as well — Trollope is an important political novelist. We would like everyone who comes to regard the place as somewhere to express and enjoy yourself with others.
