The Measure by Nikki Erlick - #1 Fat Rabbit

As a reminder the 2026 book list is at the bottom of this posting.

Hi all. This next book seems really cool. I forgot to note who suggested it, so hopefully they show up. The Measure by Nikki Erlick follows a global phenomenon where everyone over 22 receives a box containing a string that reveals the exact length of their life. The narrative intertwines the stories of eight people as society quickly divides into "long-stringers" and "short-stringers," exploring how humanity grapples with fate, prejudice, and what it truly means to live. Would you open your box? Scary!

In November, besides a new book, we will also be having the annual catch-all meeting where we can discuss any book read this year. In case you missed a meeting and want to vent. It's a fun fast paced night. And in December we will have our holiday party. A ton of good stuff these next few months. Hang on for the ride!

Cheers!
