we're up and running

Hello my intellectual friends - here's our blog sans bells and whistles but it will all come.

We'll be meeting again pretty soon. I've started the book and love the seasonal beginning.

Today a French author won the Nobel Prize! possible future read.

We are book club #88 at Bloomsbury but I don't know if the books are in yet.

Email suggestion I have received so far:

The Famished Road by Ben Okri (Nigerian writer). Protagonist is a "spirit child" Very beautiful story in the style of magical realism --I've been meaning to re-read it.

Also, Collected Stories by Paul Bowles. (If we want a short story) These are so disturbing and creepy . My favorite is "A Distant Episode".
