TIP May Book Club

smock.smock

Okay, TIP, bend over and prepare for your butt stabbings. 

You've been very naughty.

But you have one chance to redeem yourselves before imoan goes berserker.  

May 18. 7pm EST. The Great Gatsby.

Be there. OR ELSE.

Also, to make this personal: ESD, if you are not in BC next month, I will personally drive to your house and smother you with a box of honeybuns.

Yeah, this is getting ridiculous!  I feel like smock and I are carrying the entire load of this book club!  We have full time jobs... and lives!  Why are you all so selfish!?

smock.smock

That's a good question, imoan. I can only think of two possible answers. 1. They all hate us, and they refuse to join book club because of a personal vendetta. 2. We're the only two people on TIP who know how to read!

It's so sad to admit... but I'm pretty sure it's answer number two.  Is there some sort of literacy program we can get up in this piece?  We'll start with CAT.  C...A...T.  CAT!

Well now, that might be worth it.

Definitely personal vendetta over here. Sorry.

Can non TIP regulars participate? I'm getting excited at the thought of rereading it.

alexisanna44

Well 2 things.  I don't like to read on a deadline and I don't like to over-analyze books.  I'll take it under consideration, but I'll be pretty busy for a while and probably not very likely to participate.

Sure! The more, the merrier.

Don't listen to ESD! She never reads the books!

But yeah, you should totally come! It's usually just three nerds talking about books and how we hate everyone who doesn't attend.

I guess you didn't do so well in school, then, huh?

For someone who doens't like to over-analyze books, you're kinda maybe over-analyzing book club.

I'm in for this one!  Haven't read the motherfvvcker since high school.

Gone! You returned on 4-20 to throw bacon at my thread?! Have I told you lately that I love you?

I did. And the feeling is quite mutual.

You know, we're kind of like Gatsby and Daisy. And the Bacon wars are kind of like World War I. Anyway, you should come to our book club and further explore the similarities.

Wow, that was a Hollywood-level plug. I applaud your efforts, however I am a very poor book club member. I never get the books read on time. I do hope you get enough members to satisfy your quota though.

I bought a copy tonight at half.com. Seventy five cents!

I could never stay mad at you, Gone. 

But ESD better watch her butt. 

gone_awry

I think this is the part where we make out, Smock. And see? HS is going to participate!

smock.smock

I was already making out. But if you're not making out . . .

Who am I making out with? 

gone_awry

I kid, it was me.

I see where your loyalties lay. I'm watching you.

I'll make sure to watch the movie.

I can read! I can read! Sometimes I even do it.

Yesterday was a bad day for me. I fell asleep around 6 or so and woke up when Brad came home at 9. Then I rolled over and went right back to sleep.

Give me a minute and I will come out and accept my beating like a big girl. 

Maybe.

imoan

You know Muddled, I've come to expect this sort of apathy about book club from ESD... But not from you. Never from you ::walks away, dejected::

:::assumes the position for her spanking::: 

I have been attempting to read for the deadlines but fail. I can read, I swear but I am also trying to read Imoan's blog list (GG) at the same time. I have bitten off more than I can chew.

I love this book though. I am going to dig it out of my collection.
