Hey gang,

The rough deadline for Farenheit 451 is August 24th, as we proposed and launched the club the month prior. As to where we'll meet, I was thinking perhaps a Chapters or Indigo location in the area, or maybe just at a restaurant. Someplace sociable with some finger foods handy where we can discuss the book; what we liked, what didn't turn us on, what we think of it as a whole, etc.

If I had to make a suggestion as to location I'd suggest Denny's at 138 Crowfoot Way NW. Good food, it's open all hours, and it's a nice place to have a socialable sitdown. If that doesn't fly the Boston Pizza in the NorthEast up by Sunridge might make for a pleasant spot. Thoughts?

I can't make the 24th due to prior committments.

Admittedly, I haven't been able to snag a copy of the book (only one Chapters in the city had a copy and when I got there to grab it, they couldn't find it), but if anyone is willing to lend me their copy for a few days, I can get 'er done....

Let me know how the discussion goes on Thursday.

I can't go on Thursday either. cry Things are booked for me pretty much until I get back from D*C. Have a great time -- I expect to see book reports done when I get back!

I think after Dragon-con would be better since most of us in the reading group have been so busy getting ready for both cons it has been hard to squeeze reading in.

All right then, two votes carries the motion. We'll say. . .September 14th. Gives us a week to recover from Dragoncon and get our reading done. Location still forthcoming. happy

*wince* Motions... votes... Ow.

Heh.

I'm glad we're postponing it, because I haven't been able to finish the book yet, either, and I still have lots to do for my D*C costume. A post-D*C book club meeting would be much better for me.

Also: Why isn't this a sticky anymore?!?!

It'll be a sticky again. Crazymike must have only put it up as a sticky for a month or so. When putting up a sticky you have to put an expiry date. The new user one is set for a few years. I'll get him to change this one to the same.

All right, so we're agreed that the 14th will be the deadline to have F451 read (for those who haven't yet obtained a copy I reccomend Fair's Fair or the Dalhousie Station Chapters). We'll get together maybe on that coming Sunday and sit down and discuss it, maybe have some dinner and drinks. Cool?
