In which I announce an event to read the works of Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) in November 2024.
My co-hosts are Greg from @anotherbibliophilereads and Allen from @bighardbooks770 .
Our schedule:
Week 1: The Seagull
Week 2: The Cherry Orchard
Week 3: "Ward No. 6"
Week 4: "Gooseberries" and "The Lady with the Little Dog"
I'm reading these in the following editions:

I absolutely will read Chekhov in November! Sounds fun!
Glad to have you along.
Thank you! I've always been interested to try out his stories. Sometimes you just want to make sure you sample each classic author, one by one, in some rigorous, orderly fashion.
I would love to read along - I have quite a bit of Chekhov on the shelves but needed an excuse to get to it. I love his stories (and have the four volumes by Folio) and have seen the plays but not read them. The Seagull will be a good start!
Glad to hear it. The Seagull is a great play.
Who could turn down such a delightful invitation? I'm in!
Glad to have you.
Well, alright! Cool, P! 🎭
I want to get that translation of his _Selected Stories ..._ Looking forward to this! 🎭
Dear Gentleman with the Little Dog, I would like to read some Chekhov with you and your compatriots. Thank you for the invitation.
Thanks for joining us, Pat! It'll be fun.
@@JamesRuchala I think so too! 😊
Cool beans, Pat!
How fun!! Let’s see what I can dig up!
It's a great time to read Chekhov
I have a different _Selected_ of stories (not to mention a Penguin or two) so I’ll have to Chek and see if I have any of those. Afraid I’ll pass on the plays though. I love Chekhov but not his plays especially. 😅
Glad to have you along for the part you can tolerate, haha!
Shouldn't it be Antonovember?
That tag was taken by fans of indie rocker/producer Jack Antonoff, unfortunately.
@JamesRuchala damn. Well I got another one. At least on Nov 6th, you can call it Ward November 6.
I like the way you think, friend. But November 6 is the day after election day here in the US, so it will be all kinds of overdetermined feelings whatever happens. What I'm saying is we'll all be feeling a little bit crazy so..... you're right. Ward No(vember) 6 makes total sense.
