Can’t remember his real name, we call him MAC. Want a good book to read. I haven’t been able to put it down and well I’ve been laughing my ass off the entire time. “Youth In Revolt: the Journals of Nick Twisp” by C.D. Payne.

It’s a great little bookstore. They didn’t even have a cash register; all the transactions were recorded in a ledger. (This was about ten years ago, so maybe they’ve gotten one since then.) Good selection too. Definitely worth checking out if you’re ever in the area.

Duvall Used Books on the main street of Duvall is locally owned by Mike and Vicki Elidge. Great ambience, funny posters, good prices, no phone, no computer, well organized.

Fun!

I have to admit, my knowledge of sappy romance novels leaves much to be desired at the moment, so I’d be curious to what you come up with in that department, Katie. Two questions I have at the outset would be with availability (I would have to check out whatever we’re going to read from the library; that may or may not pose a problem…but we can cross that bridge when we come to it) and flexibility (though I gather this is going to be more of a standard “everyone reads the same book at the same time” format, which is fine.) I like Chris’ idea for submitting books that we’ve already read; even if they don’t get picked, it’s always good to get recommendations on what other people are reading. Should we start sending e-mails or posting our potential lists here?

I enjoy swimming in the deep end of the literary pond, but I usually end up flapping my arms and swallowing water. My favorite books are those where highbrow and readable overlap.

I like the idea of everyone coming up with lists. First a list of books you’ve read, would like to read again, and would make for good conversation. Then a list of books you’re curious about. Then we could see where our tastes overlap. Also, how often would the club meet? Every other month?

But barring your apparent want to control the book selection 🙂 I think we could consider you for the club. Looked like Mark might be interested too? Was that you Mark? So how do you guys feel about a bunch of girl, sappy, romance novels? Or high class writing like Danielle Steele? That’s acceptable, right?
