new club name

i nominate "The Book Panthers, Rrrrrow!" but only on the condition that rrrrrow is included in the name.

just stopped by to say i'm not 20 pages in to music for torching and i want to stick my head in an oven. which i think is what homes intended? good?

also it's interesting that she goes by A. M. Homes, a genderless abbreviation. is this purposeful?
"i just assumed that nobody would be interested in a woman's point of view. besides, i didn't want to risk being called all the things women writers (even good women writers) are called: 'clever, witty, bright, touching, but lacks scope'. i wanted to write about the whole world. i wanted to write War and Peace or nothing. no 'lady writer' subjects for me." --Erica Jong
