Short Courses for September

Quick as a flash, September has arrived once more - and though the changeable weather might make you think otherwise, it's generally the month that signals the start of Autumn. There's also the fact that the holiday season is coming to a close, with schools swiftly starting up again and universities preparing for their next terms.

Though Summer may almost be over, we're keeping its feelings going here at The Reader Organisation with the Short Courses for Serious Readers we have coming up this month in Liverpool and Birkenhead.

Far from being academic, our Short Courses for Serious Readers are specially designed for anyone who loves reading to enjoy getting to grips with texts that are a little more challenging in the company of fellow literature lovers. Over a day - or a number of weeks - we will enjoy great literature together, immersing into the texts and exploring together how reading good stuff can make us feel good too. There's no need to do any homework - just turn up and be ready to discover.

For those of us feeling rather frazzled by the prospect of old routines reoccuring once more - or perhaps are just missing out the chilled out holiday vibe - find an escape at Read to Re-charge on Saturday 20th September, 10am-4pm at Calderstones Mansion House. Reading is a relaxing business, and we'll be sharing the pure luxury that comes from reading for pleasure so you can have a truly idyllic time.

Perhaps you're after a different pace altogether and are searching for a bit of adventure, but didn't get the chance to jetset across the globe this summer (and let's face it - round-the-world plane tickets aren't cheap): you need look no further than our latest Short Course with Brian Nellist. Join The Reader magazine regular and Godfather of TRO to journey to some Far Places through some of the most classic works of literature. The first part of the two part course begins on Monday 29th September, 10.30am-12.30pm (every Monday for 10 weeks), with a special focus on Homer's Odyssey. No need to go the extra mile when whole other worlds are at your fingertips.
