May TIP Book Club... for those interested

[imoan]

Just c&p'd this from one I just posted on TIP. Please ignore all the "motherfuckers" and death threats. Those only apply to TIP. A few of you expressed interest in joining us for our discussion of The Great Gatsby... so here are the deets:
************************************************

Okay, so I feel like a soldier that has made it past enemy lines! I just ventured back to The Nest to get this information. Where's my purple heart, yo?!

Anyway... REMINDER MOTHERFUCKERS!

The Great Gatsby

If smock can log in at midnight while in London, you asshats can manage to be there! If not, I will send the ghosts of F.Scott and Zelda to do my bidding. And truth be told, they have nothing better to do.

[lemondrop]

I think this is even better considering we do have a ghost of zelda.

If I can, I'll join, but it's been awhile since I read it. But if I can't join, I'm OK with being considered an asshat.

[imoan]

If you read it awhile ago, don't hesitate to join us! We end up with some people who have never even read the book, but enjoy the discussion. And even if you read it in high school, I'm sure you remember enough... or hell, the conversation might even jog your memory!

I was not a huge reader in HS so I think I bought the spark notes. I pretty much did that with any required reading. LOL

[PinkSquirrel]

I haven't read it since high school and have read a bit in the last two days. If I can get home from my board meeting early, do whatever I need to do to the batch of wine I started yesterday and have any time left before passing out I should have enough read that my memory will be sufficiently jogged.

I'm listening to it right now! I'm not sure I'll finish in time but I'll still join the discussion!

[bluelikejazz]

Maybe next month... I don't have time to finish before then, and I'd have to hit up the library tonight to get a copy anyway!

[imoan]

I'll keep you guys posted about what we pick for next time. I know you guys didn't get a lot of warning time. I really enjoy this particular book club. So far we've read My Antonia, Watership Down and Flowers for Algernon.

[EllieArroway]

I am sad that I will be stuck at a family cookout. A night at home with wine & Gatsby sounds much more fun.

[lemondrop]

when do you pick out your tip book?

[msmerymac]

I actually read it twice in high school. Once for class, once on my own. It's my mom's favorite book, so she also likes to talk about it all the time. ;-) I'll see how much symbolism I can remember.

[sporklemotion]

I'll definitely try to get there-- love this book and would love to hear others' takes on it. Thanks for sharing the info!

[alleycat]

I just finished rereading this! I can't wait for the movie with Dicaprio to come out.
