Meeting Today

The meeting on The Picture of Dorian Gray will be a Micky and Kristan's, today (8/19) at 7:00. Hope everyone had a chance to finish it, better yet enjoy it.

p.s. I updated the list of future books to the right. At the end of the last meeting we threw out the idea of 1) I'm Proud of You, a story about Mr. Rodgers, or 2) A Short History of Nearly Everything. Any thoughts of what you'd like to be reading in December?

Meeting Wrap Up

Thanks to everyone who made it. There was a lively conversation despite a lack of questions on my part. Mark your calendars the next meeting will be at 7:00 on the 19th of August at Micky and Kristan's. We also added two books to the queue: October - Nemesis by Agatha Christie and November - Octavian Nothing by M.T. Anderson. We also worked out some options for December, but I'll get to that later.

Next Meeting

...is this Sunday. 7:00 at my (Rachel's) place. That is: 2524 Hennepin Ave. S. #4, Mpls. MN 55405. Please email me if you need directions or a phone number. Dinner will be provided. Can anyone bring desert or a fruit salad?

p.s. shameless self promotion. I have an art show opening at the Beat on Saturday from 7-9. See www.thebeatcoffee.com for directions. Please come- I will give you fruit and cheese. If any of you can come, it would be wonderful to see you.

p.p.s Alexis- Chris almost DID get eaten by a bear. not kidding. A bear and her cub were ten, fifteen feet away from us on a trail in the Tetons!

Sacrament

I sure hope Rachel and Chris are enjoying their camping trip and that Chris hasn't been attacked by any bears... or Rachels, for that matter.

I finished You Shall Know Our Velocity! well before the last meeting (so I could get it out of the way and get down to some serious Harry Potter business) and out of curiosity, I looked it up on Wikipedia. It didn't go too much beyond basic plot summary but the "Different editions" sub-heading is interesting. A version of the book where Hand narrates for a stretch and basically calls Will a liar? Count me in. Alas, other than ordering Sacrament (the alternate version) off of Amazon for $131.85, it doesn't seem likely I'll ever know what he said.
