Book Club - 2007

The book club, I was thinking to reinstate this summer had somehow been worked out by peeps. I suggested "Moby Dick" which was ruthlessly rejected in favor of Faulkner's "Absalom, Absalom!" by Freddy and Danielle. I was supposed to be apologetic for picking up Thomas Mann's brilliant "Magic Mountain" for the last Book Club so no one cared for my pick. Fair enough. But this book that they picked up (apparently on a whim brought on by a coffee mug at the good ol' coffeeshop in Freddy's hand) won't be a "fun" (whatever that means) read either. It is Faulkner's most intense work which builds up on the Compson Family's history from "The Sound And The Fury". This time though, the book club exists only as online forum without any meetings planned. The only meet is planned at the end of reading. Plus, there are more people reading than the last time. I am not sure how many will make it to the end of the book. Let's see.
People in the book club:
1 - Me
2 - Freddy Rodriguez
3 - Emily Altimare (President)
4 - Danielle Todd
5 - Dain Simons
6 - Devin Harner
7 - Dan Halprin
8 - Nina Juliano
9 - Rebecca Faye Northrop
10 - Brett Tomashek

A group-pic will be a good idea at some point.
