sorry, thought this had happened already. i thought girls could multi-task, what gives?

 

[Rimbaud]

'Franny and Zooey' by J.D. Salinger is my nominated book.

I`d also be happy to go with Jimmy`s choice of Turgenev....

So you guys will pick a book out of the hat - and go read it and review it/talk through it yes?

 

[billygannon]

In fairness... a magazine club would be a lot more fun.

 

[freddienonose]

"we're"

Don't get it.

 

[Jimmy Magee]

Don't get it.

Since i was touch-and-go, I wasn't sure if i could really count myself in the "we" or not

 

[Jimmy Magee]

Will there be an independent observer from Stokes-Crowley to make sure the book selection is above board?

 

[Psychotic no 2]

Just a reminder for our book club meeting tonight to pick a buke to read. Anyone who's coming should have a book they would like to nominate in mind. I've got a couple of nominations from people who won't be there either if anyone wants to do that too.

It's on at 6.30 in the Lord Edward (upstairs) at the top of Dame St. (beside Burdocks, ah, sweet Burdocks).

The Bible II

The first meeting of the Thumped Book Club can be declared a remarkable success. After choosing the book, we had an intense and deeply philosophical discussion of (non-human) animal erections, some of which involved "completion", as is fitting of any gathering of intellectual giants. No sniggering was permitted.

Anyone who missed this is a geek. Oh, wait, anyone who....never mind.

Anyway, for those who couldn't make it, or who would like to participate in a purely virtual manner, the book is Angela Carter's Wise Children. As much as I didn't want to be the first to choose, luck befalls a lady when she least desires it. I was kinda rooting for Salinger.

You have one month. Onetwothreego.

 

[Jimmy Magee]

Did youse losers hang around for long after the cool people left?

 

[jane]

There were cool people there?

 

[Jimmy Magee]

There were cool people there?

Brilliant.

Okay, did the rest of youse hang around for long after I left?

 

[Jimmy Magee]

Or, just: Did youse stay for long?

Yes, considering that several of us had intended to be home before nine, and we ended up there until it closed. I enjoyed myself immensely.

Nerds, with yer buks. I went home to watch football, drink beer and have wrestling matches with me mates. (Well, the first bit is true)

What, the 'nerds with bukes' bit?

Won't argue. I've always enjoyed being a nerd. Which is good since I've never had much of a choice in the matter.

We were talking so much that I nearly forgot to drink at all. I'm not sure if I should be embarrassed about that, but I am sure that it's not a surprise.
