finished this a couple of weeks ago, super quick and easy read… i read very little non fiction, and really appreciated the ability for Grann’s to present the content in much more of a fiction format and not textbook-y.
great read, immediately bought his newest The Wager after finishing KoTFM. Look forward to hopefully joining the discussion!
The Wager is on all our librarians Fall picks at work, definitely looks good too.
Definitely would recommend the Wager if you like Grann’s style. It was another interesting story that was well told.
Just realized that I picked this up a few weeks back at my local bookstore. Didn’t even realize it was the same author as our current pick. Really excited to read both!
Did we set a date for this one yet? I’ve got some connections within the tribe and might be able to get someone to jump on and join us if that’s something that would be of interest to the group.
At the very least, it could be a nice connection to the stories in the book, but the book really only scratches the surface of what happened throughout Indian Territory/Oklahoma during the late 1800s/early 1900s, so getting someone who can supplement the book could be interesting.
How are feeling about setting up a discussion date? Feel like we’ve been on this one a while. 9/6???
Finished last night but can’t meet this week. How does 9/13 look for everyone?
Sorry, I’ve been useless on this! 13th doesn’t work for me but feel free to go ahead! 20th or 27th might work
Never jumped in this thread before. Is KotFM still the current book? I’m looking for a new read.
Yes. The title is updated every time a new book is chosen.
20th works for me. Any objection @CorneliousPoon @greebs?
I’m tentative since I read the book years ago and actually assumed you’d discuss this last month when I was out of the country, so schedule around me! (But those dates currently work.)
9/20 works for me, but need a firm date/time if y’all want me to try and grab someone from tribe to join the discussion - if not, that’s totally fine, too, I just wanted to present the possibility to the group.
In for 20th!
Starting the book today. Better get hot and heavy to make the 20th!
In for the 20th too - finished over the weekend finally. Movie is going to be great too.
For all the book lovers, I’m at a Literary Ball hosted at the Library of Congress tonight. You were encouraged to dress up as your favorite literary character. First and foremost, library of Congress is awesome. Secondly, a bride and groom and taking their wedding photos here:
Who can post a zoom link for tomorrow?
We should also have @OffTheDole or @Double_Bogey_Dave update the title to include Sept 20
@mcdonart22 are you able to post zoom link for tomorrow?
Sorry that I"ve kindof dropped the ball…It’s been a busy time at work…some time 
Unfortunately won’t make it tonight. Reading schedule didn’t have me finishing my last one with enough time to pick this up. Which is a shame because this is on the top of my list.
But pardon the dumb question…. Does the zoom link just need to come from someone with untimed sessions? If so, pretty sure my work account allows that. Unless I’m truly technologically illiterate, I can get you a link when I go into the office.
