Ah, I've been a terrible blogger, forgive me! Our next book club meeting is Wednesday, April 18, and we'll be reading Sunflower by Hungarian author, Gyula Krudy. Get ready for a novel where, according to the New York Review Books, "the plot twists and turns; elemental myth mingles with sheer farce: Krúdy brilliantly illuminates the shifting contours and acid colors of the landscape of desire."
It'll be an interesting discussion in our return to fiction, especially tackling the fact that this is a translation (and luckily for us, there is only one translation).
Happy reading all!

Book club guidelines
1. The club will meet every two months. The first meeting is Thursday, October 27.
2. Host selection will be random, and each host will get to pick the book they'd like for a meeting.
3. To keep meetings focused on book discussions rather than administrative items, we'll try to keep meetings after work and at the Summer Shack.
4. Book selections are open to any type of books (fiction, nonfiction).
5. Try to come to meetings prepared to discuss the book.
6. Feel free to invite friends who you think would be interested in the book club.
