So... after a low turnout rate for the AHEB meetings (mostly due to its lack of availability in our small town USA)... and due to the fact that two of our three regular meeting members won't be able to attend the next two meetings, we've decided to suspend the book club meetings until February 22. Yes, we'll be having book club withdrawal by then!
If you haven't been able to join us recently, (especially if it's because you can't get your hands on the book,) we've chosen a widely available, hugely successful, much-acclaimed, banned-in-Iran superstar bestseller of a book called "The Alchemist" by Brazillian author Paulo Coehlo. It's available everywhere: Borders, Target... no problems with this one! Thin little paperback, only 208 pages! I feel like a salesman...
The plan is to read the whole entire book before the February 22 meeting. We'll have a final discussion of AHEB (for those of us that haven't quite finished yet) briefly at the beginning of the meeting, then delve into Paulo Coehlo's (alleged) literary masterpiece.
In the meantime, be on the lookout for a lighthearted, laugh-out-loud-funny book for our next read... and come prepared to make suggestions to the February 22 meeting! We're looking for a good fantasy/sci-fi read too...
Hope to see everyone on the 22nd... in the meantime, Happy Reading!
