Ready to discuss

So, I've just finished the book (I know, a bit premature) and would like to do the book club tomorrow please. I know how you felt, Orpah, this one has got to be discussed.

announcing august

hello out there! thank you Orpah for resurrecting book club for the fall. this august, we'll be reading and discussing "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. date and time TBA?

murders and madness

hey all! thought i'd chime in with my summer reading update, too. i just finished "the emperor of ocean park" by stephen carter. it's full of verbosity and legal intrigue, and much of the story is set amid the legal world of DC. how appropriate.

now i'm on to "the memory keeper's daughter" by kim edwards. has anyone else read this already? it's very sad. (that's my erudite review.)

a good read

a little shout out to lisa and laura (and nathan, who was also part of this conversation, if i recall). i checked out rod dreher's _crunchy cons_ at the library and have been thoroughly enjoying it. it would have been a champion bookclub book - and still could be, i suppose - because i think everybody in the book club probably qualifies as a crunchy con to one degree or another. there sure would be a lot of fodder for discussion. i'm still in the early chapters but lots of thoughts are percolating. he published it in 2006 before the oil crisis, economic downturn and the presidential campaign. wonder how all those events would figure into his ideas?
