Okay, so who actually read Candide?

[smock]

And who wants to actually discuss it? Turns out we are bad at scheduling book club.

Can anyone do tonight, or should we push it back? Will Voltaire's ghost haunt us if we don't do justice to his work?

Cunegonde!

I just have a bit more. I'd be ready for tonight.

I read it but have class tonight. If you have a lot of people who can do it tonight don't wait for me. Like I said, I'll just post a long rambling thread on it here.

Your mom.

[PinkSquirrel]

I've read most of it. I'm ready to go tonight or a night fein can do

[starrieskies]

I can't do book club for a miriad of reasons, but I really did read it!

Well we need to figure something out because I need a new book to read. I'll read 50 Shades! I swear I will! Don't make me do it!

I did!











No, not really. My library had an English copy mixed in with about 10,000 French versions.

[So_Fetch]

ha! I was like, I'm never going to fit in - all those bitches know French!!

I didn't but I have a lovely kindle winging its way to me and if you guys stick to amazon available shit, I will have no more excuses.

We usually pick a book at the end of our book club meetings. We used to do a public poll on the board and read whatever book won, but then the same 3.5 of us who attended all the first TIP BC meetings back in the spring got sick of letting the non-readers vote on our books, so now we just decide!

I could do tonight, or maybe next Monday? What say you, TIP? Maybe we just need someone to make an executive decision. Or maybe we can do BC as a post on TIP this time around so everyone can chime in with thoughts.

[fussbucket]

Does making executive decisions about TIP BC not fall within your vast powers as moderator?

[smock]

Yeah, it probably does, but I'm feeling uncharacteristically indecisive today.
