New Book!

Okay, so I guess I'm up...sorry for the delay. High-Rise by J.G. Ballard. My choice is a bit of a cop-out, since I've read it, but I do think it's a super interesting book--plus, I'm writing about it for my dissertation as we speak, so 1. you'll get to beta read my chapter! 2. you'll be able to understand when I go on ad naseum about every detail! 3. Ballard is super innovative and important in contemporary British literature and the SF genre and 4. is about to go through a resurgence in popularity, so you're getting on the cool train early 5. really? you need more? this isn't selling it?

Since it's a short book, here's my proposal--a week for all parties to get the book and then two reading check points: one half way through and one at the end, so...

Ch's 1-8 (read through "The Predatory Birds") by May 13th
Finish book by May 22nd

Lemme know if that works for everyone!

This is probably bad timing

But I'm changing our book. Mostly because The Once and Future King is massive and I don't feel like making anyone commit to that. So, here's my choice. I think Em has already gotten it, but if she hasn't, I'll get it for her.

Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge. Kate's got a copy, but I think I'm the only one who's read it. It's for women, but like Wild at Heart they recommend that the other gender reads it. And I loved it and want to reread it and hear what impacts you guys.

Is this a major issue? I hope not. Love you all!
