Annual Barbecue

Hey Guys. Since our summer is almost over, we thought we would do the barbecue this Sunday, August 7 at Jordan and Ally's house. Jordan will let us know a time later this week. Three years and going strong, baby!!

Walden

Hey guys,
I don't really know how much of Walden we want to read. How about reading the first few sections? See you on Saturday!

Hawthorn

Hey guys,
The Hawthorn we are going to look at are selections from the book Mosses from an Old Manse. The stories are: The Birthmark, Young Goodman Brown, Mrs. Bullfrog, and the The Celestrial Railroad.

Edgar Allen Poe

Hey guys. So along with Washington Irving we decided to do some Poe. Here are the ones we will be reading for next meeting. "The imp of the perverse", "The Tell Tale Heart", "Annabel Lee", and "The Raven". Happy Reading!!!

June 4th Graduation?

I may not make it to the meeting. It may be preempted by high school graduation which may be preempted by the rain.

The Federalist Papers

In some versions of The Papers Hamilton's introduction is considered the first federalist paper. I think Brent's version doesn't count the introduction, so Brent, you'll have to do math accordingly.

Let's read Federalsit Papers, 1,8,10,15,41,51,54,62,68,69,70,84,85.

Happy Reading!

Next Meeting

Are we meeting next on April 2nd or April 9th?

Book Club Delayed

Unfortunately this Saturday Jared and I can’t make it to book club. I was wondering if we could reschedule for next Saturday. If we do decide to switch days let’s read through the chapter The Mission up to pg. 394. Jared and I will be spending time with family at a beach house. I hope this finds you well.

Fallen Brother

Hey Jordan. On the behalf of all who belong to the prestigious institution known as the MBC, I hope that you have a speedy recovery and feel better soon. I'm glad that the surgery went well and you're on the mend. I will be personally fronting a new research organization in your honor against gall bladders. It will be called the Facility of Universal Care and Knowledge on Gall Bladders (F.U.C.K. Gall Bladders). Hopefully we can bring awareness to the world about this troublesome and evidently useless organ that robs us of the finer, "acidic", things in life. In all honesty, I love you man and I hope all will be well soon. I hope this means that you can run back to your "acidic" vices with open arms. If it does, when your feeling up to it, the drinks are on me!!

Kafka, Anyone??

Hey guys. Small request here. I know He isn't a popular choice, but I have been anxiously waiting to plunge the depths of the madness of both an impersonal world, and myself again. I would really like to read Kafka again. Whether it's Metamorphosis or The Castle, I don't care, I just miss the guy alot. Since we don't have an "on-deck selection", perhaps one of these would fit nicely? Just a thought!! Discuss:)
