Benevolent Dictatorship

When Dave took over the leadership role in this club, I feel like we got a much needed boost of energy. Now I feel our book club back sliding into a quagmire of book/host/date selection. I would just like to put forth my dream scenario. Everyone post recommendations on this Blog as well as preferred month(s) for hosting. Then the benevolent dictator chooses the book/host/date for the proceeding 3 or 4 months and continues in such a fashion so that we always have the next 3 or 4 months planned. Then if someone decides later that they cannot host on the assigned date they can work that out with the benevolent dictator or swap months with someone. If this system were in place, I feel we could avoid our current problem of either meeting in 3 weeks or not at all in December. Also it would allow me to schedule things around book club if possible. I would like to know how everyone feels about this.

Recommendation

So, I checked around and it's kind of available so I'll see how it goes. It's short...less than 200 pages. I think a reissue was just done bundling it with other stories and the original is around as well. Anyway, since the list was lost, I'm changing my recommendation to Trout Fishing in America by Richard Brautigan.

SATURDAY not Friday, see below
