LeGuin.About this EventThe year of Classics continues as we venture into our first Latin epic! Whether you've read The Aeneid before, are looking to tackle the classic for the first time with the support of other bookish folks, or just missed out on the fun of our Iliad & Odyssey reading groups, our fall reading group is for you!Join Leah & Nicole over three sessions to tackle the McGill & Wright translation of Virgil’s The Aeneid and cap it off with a discussion of Lavinia by Ursula K. LeGuin. Emily Wilson', Leah & Nicole’s favorite translator of all time, did the introduction to this new translation, promising a modern approach to the text, preserving the verse vibes of the original while aiming to make it more accessible to current readers. LeGuin’s Lavinia takes on the story from a feminist angle. We'll discuss these approaches to the classic tales over tea & nibbles!What is a reading group? It's a little more structured than a book club and way less formal than a class. We read the text and learn from each other through discussion! We are bundling tickets for all three sessions together, as the discussions will build on prior sessions. We are also offering a bundle that includes copies of both books with your tickets to all three sessions.The planned discussion for each session will be:Sunday, September 27, 2026 - The Aeneid, Books 1-6Sunday, October 25, 2026 - The Aeneid, Books 7-12Sunday, December 6 2026 - LaviniaPlease note we are specifically discussing the McGill & Wright translation of Aeneid, so if you don't purchase the books + discussion bundle , be sure that is the edition you get to work from!
