My Turn!!!

Attention Book-Ho's:

The book I have chosen for us to read next is...

Deception Point by Dan Brown
http://www.danbrown.com/novels/deception_point/plot.html

I chose this book because I wanted to go with a "conspiracy" theme and I have read a few of his other books (The Davinci Code and Angels & Demons) and have really liked them. It has gotten a lot of good reviews, so I hope it is a good choice!

Besides reading the book, I want to assign additional homework to go with the theme. I would like everyone to be able to discuss their favorite conspiracy theory (JFK, Elvis, aliens, etc) and present a few reasons why they do or don't believe it. I think this will be fun and keep us more on track!

Happy Memorial Day!

Sorry it's been awhile since the last post, I've got no real excuses so I'll save you from that.

Sunday is book club at Melany's. Not sure what time since Melany sucks but Holly, if you need a ride let us know!

Not Denise!

Yay for a not-Denise post (see, Denise, someone else is showing initiative!)

Just a note about our current book: At least three times so far (I'm a little more than halfway through), I've come across the phrase "und so weite." Having taken German, I know that this basically means "and so on" or "and so forth" but I figure maybe our other readers might not know and be curious. So go forth and read in a more edumacated manner my little minions! Except Lorena, she prolly won't make it to the first time the phrase comes up!

Books!

Our next book club will be at Melany's house and we are reading The Time Traveler's Wife. It's longer than our other books have been so less ho'ing and more readin'! (This means you, Lorena).
