Mark your calendar now for Tuesday, September 1, 9 PM Eastern/6 PM
Pacific for our next book discussion at AccessibleWorld.orgâ?Ts
Letâ?Ts Read Historical Novels.

Septemberâ?Ts historical novel is â?oI, Claudiusâ?, the highly
acclaimed novel by poet Robert Graves that tells the story of an
unlikely Caesar. Born disabled and having a pronounced stammer, no one
takes Claudius seriously. But he is in fact a brilliant scholar and,
when circumstances conspire to make him the next to rule Rome, a
remarkable statesman.

This book is available in numerous accessible formats besides the
print edition:

This is a replacement for â?oThe Phoenix Circleâ? by Boris Raymond,
which was originally scheduled for September. That book is available
on BookShare.org but not in any audio format, so we realized we had to
choose another. There have been other changes to the schedule as well,
which you can find at http://histnov.blogspot.com .
