Koach_Bot Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Thanks to all who joined us for our discussion of The Ice Palace by F. Scott Fitzgerald. (we missed some of our regulars Stormy & B, but welcomed a new chatter-Jo). Although Francis Scott was pretty well lambasted overall (note the rankings) we had a VERY active discussion and opinions ran North to South and South to North (wink). In fact, we may introduce a new ranking to include ranking the discussion itself - because although we were not enamored by this tale, we had a GREAT chat ! As one person said, it's amazing how many DIFFERENT ways we found to dislike this story lol. If you missed the discussion - you also will want to understand why we might say we chatted like cats and dogs - by reading the log With 8 very active attendees, the rankings for this story were: Personal Enjoyment: 2.62 (3,2,3,2,2,3,2,4) Artistic Merit: 2.5 (4,3,2,2,2,2,2,3) Be sure to also check the additional postings Star has made - very interesting reading. We do not have a chat planned for 6-2, but will resume on 6-9. The story for that day will be announced sometime after the 2nd. Hope to see you then, regards- grip Personal Evaluation (Interest/Entertainment Value) 5--One of the most engrossing stories I have ever read 4--Very entertaining, I would recommend it to my friends 3--A good read, I might recommend it to people whom I know share my interests or tastes 2--I would not recommend this story to others 1--A really bad read, I am sorry I wasted my time with it Artistic Value (Social/Emotional content) 5--A work of art, pulitzer prize material. 4--A significant contribution to literature 3--Well written 2--Pretty Forgettable 1--Garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
