I’ve got final grades turned in and summer session doesn’t start until tomorrow—time for some day drinking and reading for fun.

This awful news about the mass grave of indigenous children at a Canadian school made me think about The Nickel Boys. Amazing how awful we can be.

That’s what I thought of too. It’s crazy how it came and went with no real impact…like I think people aren’t surprised or something or just see it as part of a “bad chapter” from our past

You’re far too nice. I just silently joined, read the book, and assumed I could show up. Glad to see you checked that newbies are welcomed!

All are welcome.
Though if you want to pepper in some stories about @djpie that he will be upset or uncomfortable with, none of us will stop you.

Book club is open to everyone! Without new people coming and getting involved it will just be the regulars getting fed up with me casting Oscar Isaac in every imaginary movie adaptation

Now I’m trying to think of which characters in Goon Squad would best be played by Oscar Isaac.

I totally had Les Grossman in my head for the old Bennie sections

To be fair that would make most movies better

Oh my. That was “can’t put it down” reading. So good. Looking forward to hearing erudite discussion from the book club crew.

I’ve been meaning to get in! I’ve read and appreciated all of the suggestions.
I’ll be sure to be read up and ready for the next book.
Thanks for the suggestions!

Any idea what the next book will be? Just joined the Nest last week and would like to join in on the next one.
We usually figure that out during the call. Though not sure who is on point to choose. Will be updated here shortly thereafter (which would be later this week).
Sounds good. Thanks
