Smiley Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Please join us for our next chat in #readers_corner at 8:30 P.M. (EST) on January 30, 2016 (00:30 A.M., January 31 (GMT)), for a discussion of "The Bush Undertaker" by Henry Lawson. Lawson was a respected and prolific poet and short story author from Australia during the late 19th and early 20th century. Many of his stories deal with the hardships of rural life in Australia. Wikipedia has an interesting ariticle on Lawson. This week's story is a snapshot of a few days in the life of a sheep herder in the Australian outback. Nan brought this story to my attention and suggested that it might be interesting to broaden our discussions with some Australian language and culture. I think you will enjoy the story and we can let Nan explain the dialect. The story is available at: http://www.readbookonline.net/readOnLine/12063/ Meeting Place: Webchat: http://www.koach.com...#Readers_Corner mIRC Users: /server -m chat3.koach.com:6667 -j #readers_corner I hope to see you all there.
