Book Burning Memorial at Bebelplatz, Berlin


Greetings Booqclubers,
I just wanted to share this with y'all. I think it's quite an evocative piece.
Empty white bookcases commemorating the book burning parties of them Nazi motherfuckers. For more visuals go here.
How's the reading going? Shall we meet after the holidays or before-ish?
Maybe we can have a mid-book discussion if need be. Or not. Or whatever.
But regardless... READ ON mateys!!

Honestly, I am behind in the reading. I haven't cracked open mike davis, and i am not feeling the master and margarita.

maybe its me and not them. or timing? i think my timing is off.

i know i suggested both, my furby mambober tail is between my legs.

as for next meeting i am down for a mid meeting cause i will be nowhere near done anytime soon, after the holidays i may get a brain reboot.

now, later, i am always game.

I decided not to read master...because I have already read it and I wasn't totally in love with it the first time around(sorry).
As for Mike Davis I am very pleased. I noticed that the Lummis home mentioned in the "Boosters" section is a short walk from my house, so if we meet before jan. then we should meet at my house, maybe. I'm down for whatevah.

sounds good to me, nilclci. i'm also down for whatevah...

i'm reading on & i'm glad to inform you that the M & M really picks up after 80+ pages. it's getting mighty interesting & kinda crazy. it might not be pancakes, but i can sure taste the blinis.
caviar & vodka? hell yeah.

c'mon, yes, you can do it!

good evening, and many hearty and well-thinking thoughts to you:
i'm way behind in the reading. i've marked up my old copy of city of quartz quite a bit, but i haven't even opened or (ugh) bought master & margarita yet. can we meet the very end of dec or early jan? i should be ready by then as i'm taking some time off soon.

it seems like early jan might be the thing?
i'm stalling on the readings all of a sudden, but i'm reading a million other things all at once; a bit A.D.D. or schizoid, depends on how you look at it. maybe it's both?
vodka VODKA, pour me some vodka, dammit!
or beer.

bier will do, thanks

I'll be traveling a lot in January, but if it's possible to do it from the 8th to 10th I will definitely be there. If not, totally understand, and I'll miss you all.
