Anyone reading A Midsummer Night's Dream at the moment? Curious whether the opening gives a fair idea of the rest.

Eimear, a book-club style conversation afterwards could be good, even when people disagree.

A Midsummer Night's Dream is one I am weighing up. Keeping this on the list for a quieter evening rather than trying to squeeze it in.

Grainne, yes, a spoiler-free discussion would be ideal. I am trying not to look too much up beforehand.

For anyone considering A Midsummer Night's Dream: This is the sort of choice I might miss without someone putting it forward.
