Philly Book Club

Hocus Pocus Ala Kazam

The meeting for Running with Scissors went well.  We only had 5 people attend so the discussion was not as lively as it has been in the past but it was still very interesting.  After the meeting we picked next month's book.  We will be reading Hocus Pocus by Kurt Vonnegut.  I am really excited for this one because Vonnegut is my favorite author and I have yet to read this little gem. It's also really cheap on amazon.  I got it for under a dollar!  The meeting will be held in the end of February and we will decide on a date in the next couple of weeks.

Happy Reading!!

CANCELLED

Hey everyone,

Just to  let  you know, due to the weather, I am cancelling the meeting for tonight.  I am hoping to reschedule for next Wednesday.  Does that work for everyone?

Let me know.

Location

Hello all!

I wanted to post quickly about the location for Wednesday's meeting.  I was thinking about having it again at Empyrean, but every night that I walk by it is closed.  That worries me so I have decided to hold the meeting at Matt and Rob's place.  We met there for A Curious Incident and it worked out great.  I will bring some snacks and provide coffee.  If anyone wants to bring anything, please feel free.  Let's do the usual meet time of 8:00pm.  Luckily, there is plenty of parking in their neighborhood so people won't be pulling their hair out trying to find a spot!  I will be emailing their address around because I am sure they don't really want that posted on the internet.  Instead of posting discussion questions this month I have decided to enlist the help of the whole group.  For those of you attending the meeting, I was hoping that you could each bring your own discussion question.  I got a really interesting email from another Liz who runs a book club in Long Beach Island.  She said that she has scoured the internet for discussion questions on Running with Scissors and has come up empty handed.  I too have scoured and found nothing.  Her meeting for the book is on February 4th and she wants to provide her group with a framework for their meeting. I told her that our group would come up with questions and then pass them on to her group.  If no one can come up with anything, then I thought we could try to come up with the questions during the meeting.  Either way, I would like to have something to give to their group because  I thought it would be interesting to see how another group would react to our questions. 

Ok, well I will email the address and if anyone has any questions please feel free to email or call me.

HAPPY READING!

See you all Wednesday.

Let's Date

Hello all,

Ok, it seems that the 19th is going to work best for everyone that has posted a comment.  Let's plan on that date.  Normal time: 8:00pm.  Can everyone who is planning on attending just post a comment here so I can get a count of who will be there.  I will post the location and the questions closer to the meet date.

See you all then!!
