Next round of recommendations

Recommended books are trickling in. Below is what I remember from the last meeting and elsewhere. Let’s call this list tentative and subject to revision until the July meeting, when it will become permanent. Let’s set the schedule at that meeting.

If you have something to add or change, do it in the list below or in comments:

Ben Rice, Pobby and Dingan (Robbie)

Ha Jin, Waiting. (Johnny)

Sinclair Lewis, Babbitt. (Crosby)

Cormac McCarthy, No Country for Old Men. (Scot) This is the book not the movie.

Junot Diaz, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. (Buchmann)

By-law amendments

Fellers, while I still have some shreds of memory from book club at Scot’s, lemme post the two changes to the group by-laws that were decided by the consent of those present:

1.) Meetings shall be held within the last two weeks of a given month. The purpose of this rule is to ensure that one meeting does not follow too closely on the previous meeting.

2.) Not only books but also movies may be sponsored for discussion. Just as members would be expected to read a book prior to the meeting, so with a movie.

Any objections or clarifications needed? Discuss in comments.

Burb Meeting

Plan on traveling out to the burbs on July 26. There will be no mention of There Will Be No Blood.

More to follow...
