Discussion- The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde

[mjs9153]

I've never clicked on one of these story threads before, so I have not read the story. I did see the film adaptation on Turner Classic Movies and enjoyed it, there was a sweet little girl that played the part of the heir of the canterville ghost.. she was so good! If you get a chance watch that movie...

How about some Mark Twain?

Thank you, Tery!

I’m not professional enough to hold a discussion, but Id like to suggest “The Black Cat” by Edgar Allen Poe.

We are just doing these group reads for fun. Do you want your story for after Tery's Mark Twain pick next week? Keep in mind though that the board will be shut down and we will not be able to discuss it for a couple weeks. But you are more than welcome to join in. It is just for fun!

I have never seen a movie version of this but I bet it is super fun. I will be on the lookout for it.

Sounds good. Terry will host The Celebrated Jumping Frog next week and you can host The Black Cat the week after.

When is the board going to be shut down? Ms Mod didn't call me about this change.

Ms Mod is taking vacation time the first two weeks of October. Moderator - exact dates?
We might hold off The Black Cat until October 24

The boards closed for two whole weeks?

I’m just saying I’m gonna be late to my own discussion

This has occurred in the past, and it is a perfect time to catch up on reading old posts. Look around, see all the thoughts on various books, subjects.

I was planning on reading the story a few hours before the meeting but had Kindle problems and a family emergency. Sorry, Cat. I will be reading it soon, anyway, and I'm staying away from comments until then. cat in a bag

....I apologize....life happened, and I never got around to reading this tale....hell of a week at work....death by hanging that required all I had in the way of lifesaving efforts, and sadly-they weren't enough....to much time had passed before I was alerted.....we worked like hell, but to no avail....then, another rescue that required surgery following a dislocated and badly fractured ankle.....
