thats clever...
yesterday we dissected and discussed "Brideshead Revisited," over wine, homemade cranberry scones and mini raspberry burritos. the conversation turned to faith, mans role with God and wealth and the current state of the church. it was really a fascinating and educational discussion, enlightening to all parties. it's what a gathering like this is supposed to be...
everyone who was there, please post ideas and conversations you remember as comments here to share with those who were not able to be present.
here is the summer schedule we decided on:
June: "A Pilgrim at Tinker Creek," by Annie Dillard. she is wonderfully poetic. meeting on June 29th in Long Beach, as to not conflict with 4th of July weekend.
July: in hopes of switching up genres and styles, we're going to venture out. "Twilight," by Stephenie Meyer.
August: with the success of our discussion of faith and the church, we thought we might jumped genres again and veer into the 'faith' arena. "Blue Like Jazz," by Donald Miller. in hopes of kick starting some awesome conversations.
i think this will be a fun crop for the summer. i look forward to hanging out and nerding out over some good reads with you all.
please use this blog out of towners

It sounds as if you guys had, yet another excellent meeting...and my jealousy burns on. I am sorry I didn't post a blurb on Brideshead, and I am sorry the buttons are not done. I've been a bad book clubber this month, but I'm coming back in June with a gusto! I am looking forward to Annie Dillard VERY much, good call who ever decided on that one.
i am glad that you get to be a part of this rose! you got to get that brother of yours on here too.
