昨晚下着小雨，但大家还是看那恒古的，远远的一轮明月。 大家对小说题目的由来都很有见地。
下面抄一段：
The explanation that Maugham gave to all these earnest enquirers was that the title concerned a previous novel, Of Human Bondage (one thinks of TE Lawrence’s Seven Pillars of Wisdom, a title transferred from a previous, unsuccessful work). It so happened that when Of Human Bondage was reviewed in The Times, the reviewer said of the main character, Philip Carey: ‘Like so many young men he was so busy yearning for the moon that he never saw the sixpence at his feet’.
Maugham liked the phrase, stole it, and transferred it to the title of his next book.
看来大家要读《人类枷锁》了。
昨晚出席者：大雁，老牛，紫罗兰，潇竹，EE，闹闹， 姥姥，竹林子，雪，萤火虫
缺席者：水竹（辛苦远途归来）； Alice （announced proudly having finished the book，why absent?)
大雁老师把别的会都推了，为了一心扑在昨晚的读书上，很让我们感动。想大雁老师致敬！

继上次《百年孤独》的书签，雪又为大家精心制作高更名画书签， 谢谢雪的细心关照。
还要说的是，我们每一次用Shared Doc.展开讨论，都是雪起的好头，她当时“逼着”我们每人都写一点关于自己老同的故事， 虽然做作业很痛苦，后来“挖”出来读读大家写的东西还挺有意思。它记录我们的一段心路历程，大家都很真诚，很有价值。
要谢会长激励我们向名著名画进军。
We are quite the opposite comparing those young men, only saw the sixpence at our feet.:)
