Had a few latecomers ride in on Saturday 7-21 to discuss The Rocking Horse Winner by DH Lawrence, but when you're in a horserace, someone always comes in first, and someone last.

 

Fun chat as always while we primarily examined the characters and their motives in this classic, sprinkled with facts about the author's life and a currency conversion over time making us all starry-eyed for a few minutes as we thought about $ 6 Mil would be like.

 

I think the general conclusion was that - Our Chat is Priceless !

 

Here is how the rankings stacked up:

Interest/Entertainment Value: 2.6 (2.5, 2, 3, 2.5, 2.5, 3.5)

Artistic/Social Value: 3.18 (3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4.3, 3)

Discussion: 3.85 (4, 4, 4.3, 4, 3.5, 4.16, 3)

 

See you when I see you -- Keep Reading and Suggesting !

Ranking Scales:

 

Interest or 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

 

Discussion - we have an unscientific scale, just 1 (ychh!) to 5 (yay!!) and have just started having this ranking. Any ideas about specific traits on the scale to rank by are welcome.
