Book Club: What Shall We Read Next?
Front-Ranger:
I've started a discussion of The Cowboy Way on Anything Goes. Join us!!
Front-Ranger:
Some good recommendations for summer reading!
michaelflanagansf:
A word of explanation, please! Once you choose your books to discuss, where are the threads for the individual books?
Front-Ranger:
They're right here in the Culture Tent. We have one for The Virginian, one for Postcards, one for The Cowboy Way, and one for Brokeback Mountain. I believe there are also some for Mary Renault books.

Here are a few words from the beginning of "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"
First chapter: "What The?"
What about a teakettle? What if the spout opened and closed when the steam came out, so it would become a mouth, and it could whistle pretty melodies, or do Shakespeare, or just crack up with me?"
Later on on page one is this quote:
"I wonder if everyone's heart's would start to beat at the same time, like how women who live together have menstural periods at the same time, which I know about, but don't really want to know about."
--- End quote ---
Hopefully it will be ready for screening this fall, which will be the 10th anniversary of the event that is a linchpin of the plot: the destruction of the World Trade Center.
