Introducing the Memoir...

We are currently working on Caleb Carr. We read "The Alienist" and have already gone on to the sequel "Angel of Darkness." These are great books with many interesting and poignant threads throughout. We will discuss this briefly in our next time.

Last time we met I made a suggestion as we all were on our way out " Read Virginia Woolf..." I know you don't get it, and you don't like it! That is okay.

Adeline Virginia Woolf is a tough read. You don' have to like her, in fact you don't even have to read her. The only reason that I suggest Virginia Woolf is that in our next meeting we will be introducing the genre of "memoir." And Virginia Woolf is a founding member of the more modern rendition of this very difficult and wonderful genre. ( By the way, "memoir" is much more interesting and enthralling than VW)

There are others who make for a not-just-good-but-great read, but I want you to find them and we will talk about them at our next meeting!

Trying to get through Facebook!

This is like trying to read a text book on Theriogenology. I don't really know the proper way to go about all of this "Facebooking" so any suggestions that you want offer will be greatly appreciated.

Any all is well here with the Penciler's we are currently reading "The Alienist" by Caleb Carr and, for those of you who may be fast readers, his sequel "Angel of Darkness." These two books should defiantly be on your to read list!

I've been told to move to Facebook...

So I will... it is true that Facebook is a community service and a place where everyone can interact together, this blog on the other hand is not as user friendly as i would have liked... Don't get me wrong it is great for keeping a blog or a journal but it really is not so much of a social site. So, we are moving! Come see the new place on Facebook!
