Do you think that because the current BOTM is just a short-story, everyone willl have finished it
by the end of october?

In that case does anyone have suggestions or preferences for November?

Continuing with the theme of 现代文学, how about something like《雷雨》? It's a play, so
not as long as a novel, but not as short as a short-story. It's also split into acts, making it
easy to have separate discussions (if necessary) about events that occur.

The recent movie 《夜宴》 is also supposed to be loosely based around the same story, except
with the events and happenings transposed onto the imperial family.

I like the idea...glanced over a couple paragraphs of the 景 and it would be good for discussion
but in terms of what people can learn from it there will be a real multifaceted experience.

One, descriptions will be very 丰富 due to it being a play as well as there will be a lot of
书面表达 in it. Second, it will be a mix of more "口语" stuff as well because there will be
a good amount of dialog in it. Thirdly there is a great exercise in understanding the descriptions
as the background, changes, etc will all be in regards to specific things and this is will provide
a good opportunity to test understanding of the descriptives.

It looks good and I'm game!

I haven't given it a good looking over yet, but it looks manageable. I'm game

Ok, looks like this is it then. If we go one act a week, we should be finished by the end of the
month. Based on this pace, the deadline for reading 景 is Sunday.

In terms of the links 景 and 第一幕 are actually the same so I am just clarifying that we read
all of 第一幕?

I'm game. Let us proceed...

A bio of the author. Is 温家宝 named after him?

No they aren't. 景 links to http://www.oklink.net/99/1125/leiy/001.htm, which at the top of the
page says 第一幕.

第一幕 links to http://www.oklink.net/99/1125/leiy/002.htm, which at the top of the page says
第二幕. It seems to be a bit confused.

Anyway, start reading from 景.

Quote:

景－－大致和序幕相同，但是全屋的气象是比较华丽的。这是十年前一个夏�
��的上午，在周宅的客厅里。

I think 景 here means “布景stage set”, not “the First Act第一幕”.

Cheers!

So, to clarify, please read based on the order listed on the index.

景 http://www.oklink.net/99/1125/leiy/001.htm
第一幕 http://www.oklink.net/99/1125/leiy/002.htm
第二幕 http://www.oklink.net/99/1125/leiy/003.htm
第三幕 http://www.oklink.net/99/1125/leiy/004.htm
第四幕 http://www.oklink.net/99/1125/leiy/005.htm

The above makes it a little clearer that they are not the same links.
