Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh

Hi everyone

Thanks to all who showed up on Saturday at Trows Bar. We had a really good and interesting talk on George Sand's Indiana. Thank you all, really. I really appreciate all the thoughts and the fact that everyone was attentive and respectful of each other.

By popular vote, the next book to read for May’s meetup is Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh - who is a man..

Read more about the book here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30933.Brideshead_Revisited?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=GIms6TVck8&rank=1

The book is readily available in all formats, including as an audio book AND a really good tv show from the 1980's with a young Jeremy Irons! Fancy that. Available in places: https://www.justwatch.com/dk/tv-series/brideshead-revisited-1981

Right now the book is also on sale at Amazon's Kindle Store for 8,50 Danish kroners! Get British novelty for that cheap! An absolute steal: Kindle Store

Ressources
The great benefit of classic books is that most of them are in the public domain and for that reason they are readily available, for free, in all formats.

Below are some great ressources that are helpful for you before reading one of the books for our meetups:

• LibriVox: LibriVox is an open source network of volunteers who record audiobooks. You will be able to find and download most of the books we read as audio books for free on this site. I highly recommend it. The quality of the audio, however, is not as great as with professionally made audio books.
• Project Gutenberg: Project Gutenberg is just one of many websites offering free ebooks. You will be able to find most of the books we read as ebooks on this or similar sites. To read an ebook you will need, preferably, some kind of tablet or e-reader like an Amazon Kindle or similar.
• YouTube: YouTube is also a great resource for finding and listening to audio books. Most of the books we read will also be available as audio books on YouTube.
• Local Libraries: If you are registered as a user at your local library in Denmark, you will have access to borrow ebooks and audio books for free. If you are not proficient in Danish, you can access ebooks and audio books in English by downloading the app Libby to your smart phone and tablet. By connecting the app to your local library, you will then be able to borrow e-books and audio books in English through Libby.

We meet up on Saturday May 11th at 4 pm at The Garden of The Royal Library. Please, as always, be mindful and respectful of each other, so that everyone feels respected and appreciated.

Happy reading/listening/watching or however you do it.
