1. It's a book of short fictional essays

So it is for those with short attention spans. Makes sense, for this crowd.

2. David Sedaris - and peeps he knows (his sis, his boyfriend, etc)

Sounds creepy that he makes up stories about his sis.

3. Read the dang book to find out.

Can I borrow someone's book?


Yes, you may borrow my book, if you like. But I'm not going to have a book club with just you. Oh wait, TriMegger still wants to do it.

Anyone else? Seriously folks, if not, that's fine. I also just don't want to pick a day and then have no one show up.

I think that if you pick a day, people will come.  I think everyone is still interested.  They just don't all have 9,205 9,206 9,207 posts in less than a year and don't post as much.

Actually, I've been on BT since May of 2007. That's over a year. And up until like June or so, I only had about half of that. If I remember correctly, there was a period of time where you padded that post count nicely in the original VAMDDCBBTC threads.

Math genius, my a$$.

You should know from my HIM RR that I am not a math genius.  Am still feeling the effects.

Subject: VAMDDCBTBC - UPDATED with dates

So now it appears as though I am in charge and hosting, IF and only if people are still interested in said book club.

The book, for those who need to be spoon-fed like NL, is "When You Are Engulfed In Flames" by David Sedaris.

I guess we are now having it at my house. That is fine. There will be snacks and alcohol.

I would suggest the following dates: Wednesday, Sept. 24th, or Wednesday, October 1st. Please let me know as to what date works for most people.

Amazon has the Cliffs Notes on back-order until 9/25, so I vote for the 1st.

So what is going on here? are we still meeting on the 1st? What time? still at Wurkits? or a bar?

As one of only two members of my company's running club, I've been asked to lead some visiting clients on a running tour of Reston that evening. Just trying to figure out my sched for the evening?

I don't think anyone's actually committed to this, either reading the book or showing up (except you). As I have more valuable things to do with my time, I am going to say, it's a no-go. Have fun with your clients instead

She passed it over to me...I am handing it off to whomever wants to organize. I do crazy stuff like read books just for the heck of it, so I'm always happy to attend a book club, but it's not a necessity.

6:00 PM on Thursday October 23, 2008

Stone Bridge High School: 43100 Hay Road Ashburn VA 20147:

Entry is $5.00.

Expect them to get stomped, a first down is something to cheer for when it comes to the geeks playing a real school.

No. I was not the one who came up with the idea. It then got transferred to me, but knowing that no one was actually going to READ the book, I decided not to waste my time.

I'll do a book club. I'd rather it be virtual, Skype anyone?, or you the group can come to my place. I want to minimize my 'out of town' driving.

*gasp* I actually do other things, like read and stuff.

I can print out some of my posts (like this one) and he can read it, and he can discuss.
