There‘s been some interest in this group, so I‘ve created a Google form for book nominations. I‘ll try to have a poll for books open by Dec 1 with our first read starting in January. No pressure, jump in or out whenever you want.
If you‘ve already submitted the form, I have your responses.

Anybody interested in a banned books buddy read? Probably a chapter a day format. It just feels like a critical time to collect books.
so-so(1731) It's a story of faithlessness and devotion that inspired two brilliant operas, either of them better than the book. Without music I expected to loathe both principals: her for her deception, him for his blind devotion. But both are more complex: Manon is an ambitious woman who seeks to rise by means available to her and Des Grieux is an unreliable narrator who may be a greater liar than Manon. Mixed feelings but more engaging than expected.
And we shall organize them, we shall drill them, we shall marshal them for the victory! We shall bear down the opposition, we shall sweep it before us—and Chicago will be ours! Chicago will be ours! CHICAGO WILL BE OURS!

What a beautiful edition of Golding‘s classic Lord of the Flies. This was one of my favorite reads in HS.

I love those moments when you realize the stunningly obvious meaning of a word that you were somehow oblivious to your entire life, like “sour cream is *sour* cream!”🤯
George Johnson narrated one of those new connections for me this week and it made me super happy 😃
Caught the first episode to this new history series yesterday evening...
I am American & American Indigenous, yet I also have Indigenous Mexican & Spanish mixed into my blood.
This hit home 🧐🥺. There were some new info. I learned about too. Always learning...
Even while I am very familiar with the true history of my ancestral world, this was still difficult...the genocide that swept across my ancestral homelands 😢...
