For our August meeting we decided on Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy. Here's a link from Project Gutenberg to download it free: http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/122
Now we need to decide on a place and time. The old stand-by, True Love Coffee House, is not really an option anymore. When we met last we found a Greek restaurant in its place and True Love moved upstairs, which I suspect will sink the business quickly. The whole charm of the downstairs location was that it was large enough and quiet enough to house all of us when we actually showed up. Really, I'll miss their addictive peanut butter mochas the most.
Other odds and ends:
I finally joined the pack and read the first two Harry Potter books! They were light and enjoyable and the movies are almost identical, as far as following the events. I'm going to try to read to number four and take a break. Thanks, Marcus.
Well, not really a break, because what comes out August 2nd? Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final installment in Stephanie Meyers Twilight series, that's what. I won't be staying up until midnight and sneaking over to Borders for the Edward and Bella parties, but darn close. I can't remember the last time I was so invested in characters or that I had to clear off chunks of time - no food, no tv, don't talk to me- to finish the book. So what if the books are for teenage girls and Edward and Bella's romance is totally unhealthy and obsessive?
I'm going to be presumptuous because I think having your words published (by other people, of course) is something to be proud of - so here's a link to one of Christine's X-Files articles on IGN: http://tv.ign.com/articles/893/893502p1.html
Read them all and comment on how awesome Christine is.
