If you're in the STL and like wine first and reading second, this is the book club for you! If you're on the Evite list, than you already got this, but if you're not and are dying to drink and kinda discuss a book, here's something you might be interested in:
First, let's just establish that no one broke the book club.
Second, we've got a new format for this thing. You now have two months to read the book. For fast readers, wait a bit to begin. For slow readers, get started today.
Third, for the first four books, we'll be using suggestions from the past that were never selected all of which must be under 400 pages.
Fourth, during the off month (for example, February), we'll have a movie night during which we'll meet at the Moolah, Tivoli, or Chase Theaters, see the movie, and talk it out following.
Fifth, our standard meeting place is still Brennan's where there will still be wine drinking. (Thank god.)
So, without further ado, our first book for 2007 is....
WISE CHILDREN by Angela Carter
A great read, the novel is told from the point of view of Dora & Nora Chance, two very wise children indeed. Lots of Britishisms in this one so flip on BBC America for background noise. At 240 pages this is well below our limit and is a Julie Layton favorite and her perennial book club suggestion! It's finally time, Julie!
The date has been filled in on this invite so get reading!
Wanna come? Email me and I'll send you the full details.

That would be sweet.

Glad I could contribute. I mean, after missing the old as Jesus party...I had to do something. :)
