Introduction

I'm a chronic book-lover, and although I like to read many different types of fiction, I was the kid in school who loved English class assignments. I was looking for a club that would read the kind of books I like to read, not just what's popular.

What is your favorite book of all time?

That's kind of a toss-up between Pride and Prejudice and The Lord of the Rings.

What 'classic' fiction novel is high on your "To Read" list?

Jane Austen's Lady Susan, Captains Courageous, The Once and Future King. Also, I'm curious about The Mysteries of Udolpho, and I never read the whole Chronicles of Narnia. And anything by Wilkie Collins; The Moonstone was fabulous.

  • Lisa:

    I would like to bring a snack tomorrow, but will be coming from another activity by Metro. Is there a grocery or convenience store near you? And what would you like? I was thinking of cheese or hummus, but can bring something else - chips, crackers, dessert, etc. Also, it needs to be light, which means that I can not bring drinks or fruit.

We've got a lot of great books coming up I hope you'll consider, including "A Fire Upon the Deep" next Sunday, "Sandman Slim" on Feb 12, and "I am Legend" on Feb 26. We've also got a writers meetup on Jan 21, and a movie on Jan 29. Hope you can join us for a meetup soon!

  • Hi Lisa, thanks for joining! You and I seem to have two of the same favorite books. I look forward to meeting you.
