May 5 Meeting

At our meeting last Friday, May 5, we decided to read a book for June -- Chris Abani's Graceland. We're going to try and meet on June 22nd to discuss that book at Carr's house. It will be an informal dinner party kind of thing.

For the fall we chose Jonathan Safran Foer's Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. We're going to try and meet early in the semester for that one, probably two or three weeks after the semester starts.

In both cases Carr has ordered books from the bookstore, and we'll keep you posted here as to when those will be available. All right. good reading!

Meeting Friday 5-5

We'll have a meeting of the essex Book Club on Friday, May 5 (Cinco de Mayo) at 12:20 in J130. We're hoping to lay out a plan for the summer and fall. The questions seem to be: 1. are we going to meet over the summer? If so, what book should we read, and where and when will we meet? 2. If not, then what book are we going to read for the fall, and when are we going to meet?

There is a list of books for possible consideration on the WebCT discussion board.
