EVERYTHING... spinning away and darting hither and thither and back again

'lively as twenty leprechauns doing a jig on top of a tombstone'

...as small as nothing.

colored winds & little gowns

'... there are four winds and eight sub-winds, each with its own color. The wind from the east is a deep purple, from the south  a fine shining silver. The north wind is a hard black and the west is amber. People in the old days had the power of perceiving these colors and could spend a day sitting quietly on a hillside watching the beauty of the winds, their fall and rise and changing hues, the magic of neighbouring winds when they are interweaved like ribbons at a wedding. It was a better occupation than gazing at the newspapers. The sub-winds had colours of indescribable delicacy, a reddish-yellow half-way between silver and purple, a greyish-green which was related equally to black and brown. What could be more exquisite than a countryside swept lightly by cool rain reddened by the south-west breeze!'

NEXT MEETING

... to take place somewhere sometime soon

it's mandatory YOU ALL HEAR?

There will be spiked punch courtesy of Lady Saffron.

We'll all be giving power point presentations on our reading lists & whatever topics we've been obsessing on, literary or not.

BOOQCLUB shall be run as a corporation from this point on.

Dress accordingly. And bring boxing gloves,  just in case.

For the love of books

                                                                                    

The resolution to it all.

What I am Reading and The Essence of Blogging ver.2.0

A quickie on what I am reading....

Women In Love - just started
TAZ - still reading, though sits on my nightstand more often than the rest
A Field Guide to Getting Lost - still reading
City Of Quartz - taken a slight break from

On the Spirit of Blogging part 2

I concur with Beneficence.
May we reinstate a vote around on the next book, maybe at a time that is a little more accessible for everyone? Or, at the very least, present a voting path that can be done on the blog and have wild orgiastic booq club meetings over brunch? An early morning meeting is limited to the few that can make it and does seem unintentionally exclusive.

Spirit of Blogging

so...in the spirit of blogging...I have two questions...

1) what happened to the booqclub voting for books? has that been done away with????????

2)whats up withthe super early morning meetings? do u guys want to exlude people?
I would have liked to have been at the meeting but that hour was unreasonable...I felt excluded :P
not nice!


benificence

For the enjoyment of all, I give you...

this.

if that ain't ontological anarchy and/or poetic terrorism, i don"t know what is.

if nothing else, it certainly made me laugh my ass off.

SUCCESS INDEED!

Sweet Baby Jesus on a bicycle! That was one hell of a meeting; many topics were discussed and thoroughly explored by the 4 brave souls that decided to congregate in Union Station at 8 a.m. sharp on a bright and shiny Sunday morning. 

Round table, musical chairs, dead fish, and sparkly intellects zinging under a glorious morning sky. That's the spirit, YO... let it flow & let it work through you!

*amen*

And now I'm proud to introduce the newest member of our booqclub: say hello to Mr. Dikonstrukt himself, here to break it down, pull it apart, and put it all back together again.

So get crackin y'all... because it is ON like DONKEY KONG!  Hop on your damn bicycle and start pedaling with all your might because, believe me when I say this, you DO NOT want to fall behind.  (click on it kitty!)

SUCCESS!

If its nutty enough it will work out.

The events that paned out: coffee, introduction's, discussion, food, banter and field trip to Skylight Books to choose our next book which is:

The Third Policeman by Flann O'Brien

Buy it, Borrow it, Steal it, then Read it. 

Next meeting will commence in a month. Those of who missed the last meeting get back on board! You are missed.

YES

Mandatory BOOQ Club Meeting

I'm calling a mandatory* meeting of BOOQCLUB.

It will take place at Los Angeles' Union Station in the courtyard at 8:00 am, tomorrow (Sunday, Oct 11).

Each member will have read ALL, SOME or NONE of Hakim Bey's T.A.Z.

Each member will have something to say to the group or will remain defiantly silent.


-Kitty

It is also within the rights of any member of BOOQCLUB not to attend such a meeting, and are not required to give any reason for not attending.
