September Book

For September, we will be reading My Sister's Keeper by Jody Picoult.



The meeting will be Tuesday, September 16 at 6pm. Location TBA.

1984 Discussion

Because of the Football Kickoff event this evening, the discussion for 1984 will be moved to tomorrow evening.

Meeting info:
Wednesday, August 20
6pm
Cheeseburger in Paradise

Why Cheeseburger you ask? Because it sounded good. And they have great drinks (both with and without alcohol).

Regular Meetings

Well it looks like the majority has chosen Tuesdays at 6pm. To keep it in line with the time of month we have been meeting before, how about the third Tuesday of each month? This would make our discussion of Orwell's 1984 on Tuesday, August 19th. Any preferences of meeting location?

Online Version

Just in case you'd prefer an online format, 1984 can be read online here.

Can you dance in a post-apocalyptic world?

David Bowie was a fan of George Orwell and wanted to do a concept album of Orwell's book 1984. Bowie started working on the material in 1973 but was unable to get permission from Orwell's estate. Not all was lost. In 1974, Bowie released Diamond Dogs a rock concept-album about a post-apocalyptic world.

I thought this video would be fun to post. This is David Bowie performing his song "1984" from Diamond Dogs.

Meetings

What does everyone thing about having a more "regular" meeting time? For example, the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6pm. That might help in scheduling other life events. Just an idea.

A Likely Next Book

And the next book is... 1984 by George Orwell
