I used to be ashamed of reading mostly romance novels. Even when I worked in a bookstore, I'd sneak my stack up to the counter like a druggie with a secret stash. I'd cover the covers with the inserts from magazines. I'd avoid questions about what I was reading, mostly because my male friends would snatch the books and read the sex scenes aloud (ask D. about his horrifying experience with 'thickets').

September
We set the next meeting for Saturday September 27th @4:00. Since everyone agreed to The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao I will bring baked goods to Steve's house. Anybody need directions, just let me know.

Totally not book related...
...but I loves me some Alan Rickman and he plays Snape in the Harry Potter films, so this counts, right? It's the music video for In Demand by Texas. Corny, cheesy, sexy- say what you will, I don't care because Alan does the tango.

Bribery and baked goods
I've been not so quietly lobbying for us to read, for September, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, the Pulitzer Prize Winner of 2007. It's getting rave reviews for being sweet, funny, and tragic, plus I'm a sucker for family sagas.

Helloooo...
I'm going to be needy for a moment. Everybody that I invited and accepted the invite can post here. Please post something book related. For the peeps that haven't accepted, your email stays hidden from outsiders and I haven't gotten any spam from blogger.com, if that is a worry (Marcus!).
