Dear Far to Goers,
We'll be reading Lab Girl by Hope Jahren for our next meeting at Ed's house on November 29, 2017.
It was wonderful to welcome Carmen to the group last night, and I look forward to her future contributions.

Playing Catch Up
We met yesterday evening at Paula's to discuss what many call "The Great American Novel," Moby Dick. Considering that Melville's novel is long and the chapters seem disjointed (possibly because he did a major rewrite in which he added Ahab (!) ), we managed our way through a pretty rigorous review. I even plan to do some additional scholarly reading since Bev was kind enough to lend me her book. I'm very interested in the feminist critical take. I expect to laugh out loud.
We will gather again at 7 p.m. on May 10 at Kristin's to read American Joe - a bit of an experiment for us.

Making History
Last night, in between Moby Dicking, Naoing, nowing, and politicking, we briefly discussed our anticipation about today's Nobel announcement. Did we ever expect this? And what do we think about it?
Bob Dylan wins Nobel prize in literature!

America Will Believe
Once Upon a Time......
Far to Go read and discussed American Gods by Neil Gaiman. Well, guess what? The Starz Network has seen fit to develop Gaiman's novel into a series. I'm not sure how I feel about translating one novel into a series, but the casting leaves little doubt that this will be a fun watch.
See for yourself.
American Gods
See you in 2017!
