Book Club Meeting--Sunday April 11th 3:00 pm!

Our book group is officially (and quite literally) re-grouping! We've chosen The Gutenberg Galaxy by Marshall McLuhan for discussion. It should be rather interesting, considering that it was written in the 1960's--long before Western civilization's concept of "media" exploded with the emergence of the internet.

So far, I'm really enjoying the way McLuhan is placing King Lear in historical context with the printing press; the themes of blindness and three-dimensionality are particularly relevant. Admittedly, it's been over a decade since my last encounter with this play, but I'm still enough of a geek to enjoy revisiting it.
