Great discussion, Elena!

Sharon and I agreed that the author and historical aspects were much more interesting than the book.

The General Prologue

The Knight's Tale

The Wife of Bath's Tale

The Clerk's Tale (a king keeps sending his wife Job-like trials to est her patience and loyalty)

The Franklin's Tale (a couple enter into a marriage of "equality," wife refuses an adulterous suit by making an impossible bargain,suitor finds a magician to make the impossible happen, husband tells wife she must honor her part of the deal, everybody let's everybody off the hook)

The Pardonder's Tale (three drunk men go out in search of death and betray each other)
 The Nun's Priest's Tale (the one with Chaunticleer the rooster)

A conflict has come up and I can't have book club here this week.

I can do it here next week. Does somebody want to host this week, or shall we postpone a week?

If we have it elsewhere this week, I can host in August.

The book this month is Growth of the Soil.  By Knut Hamsun

I have a Lee library copy of The 10,000 things.
Sharon gets it when I'm done.
