Read with TIP! (AKA book club)

in Trouble in Paradise

Hey TIP. Who likes books? I bet some of you like books. 

And who likes book clubs? I know I do.

So let's make some magic, and read a book together. Then, we'll meet in a magical cyber land to discuss the book, where we can drink wine and feel smart.

Any takers? The book club executive committee (me, imoan and Muddled) discussed reading a classic that most of us haven't read--we were thinking My Antonia by Willa Cather. Thoughts?

    The real question is: How could anyone not want to make magic with us?

    I would like to discuss the anti-broc conspiracy, since you all clearly knew I'd want to participate. :(

    If you want to join the executive committee, all you have to do is send me cash (or money order). In return, you will receive a commemorative tote.

    (disclaimer: tote may or may not be a plastic grocery bag from target)

    I'm in! I was given a hand-me-down Nook, and am looking for ideas to download. What's the timeframe on finishing each book?
    Oh, FFS.

    And note that the t in "target" isn't even capitalized.  So what it really will be is a chintzy azz bag from her local gas station that she writes "target" on in black Sharpie.

    There may or may not be a honeybun in the sharpie'd gas station bag.

    So how about our first meeting will be in the first week of February? The executive committee is taking input on timing: would a weeknight be better for people? Weekday? (p.s. no one say "wednesday night" or imoan will know you are personally targeting her.)

    I prefer a weeknight.  Tuesdays are bad for me though.  I likely can't participate during the day.

    Thursday? Or do people still consider Thursday part of the weekend?

    LOL - Thursday hasn't been part of my weekends for many, many years.  In fact, going with that thought of the weekend, nothing is like that for me anymore ;-)

    I'm in!

    I flew through coments and someone said 'conspirators' and I read it as 'vibrators.' I haven't actually gone back up to see if I'm wrong or just horny.
