Hello friends. I am assuming you all finished reading Zola some time ago. Whats next? A meeting or another book?
Seeing as this book club has a tendency to stagnate, I was thinking that it would be nice if we just started posting what we are reading independently. This way we can keep in touch and maybe even inspire each other to read something. By lowering the bar just a little bit we may be able to avoid the hassle of trying to get everyone on the same page at the same time (which seems to be difficult). If the stars align and several of us read a book at the same time then we can celebrate by meeting and getting drunk. This is just an idea, nothing serious. If you guys want to continue with the original plan that is okay by me.
I just finished "Go tell it on The Mountain" by James Baldwin and I am now reading "Nausea" by Jean-Paul Sartre. Next I will read "The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand

i say both? a meeting and another book? are the stars rightly aligned? maybe not
i think that's a great idea, nilclci. let's post independently & semi-regularly (pretty please?) so at least we can create a consistent book-related dialogue amongst ourselves... literary trivia, obscure references, quotes, footnotes, erudite banter, academic froth, and what have you... SOUNDS GREAT TO ME and getting drunk too.
my reading list is all over the place, since it's strictly related to my changing moods and/or the weather. as of today, 2:05 pacific time, this is what it is:
- Kindred by Octavia Butler
- Inherent Vice by Thomas Pynchon
- Near a thousand tables: A History of Food by Felipe Fernandez-Armesto
- Techniques of the Observer: On Vision & Modernity in the 19th Century by Jonathan Crary
- Mercury Station by Mark Von Shlegell
about to crack open/sift through:
-The Art of Memory by Frances Yates
-The Five Senses: A Philosophy of Mingled Bodies by Michel Serres
salivating for:
-The Importance of Being Iceland: Travel Essays in Art by Eileen Myles
- Vegetation by Francis Ponge
- THe Passive Vampire by Gherasim Luca
Hi, I've been stalking this group for months trying to join. I could never figure out when you were meeting or reading. If you are meeting up let me know?
