I hope you are all coming along well with Mr. Peanut. If you haven't started yet, not to worry, we still have two weeks until the next meeting. I got a couple of concerned comments about breaking the 400 page mark, but I think you'll find it moves quickly. I actually have the original hardcover which clocks in at just over 300 pages. So no worries!
I've been in contact with Aaron Thier (The World is a Narrow Bridge) and we are working on a tentative date of Wednesday, November 7th, for him to visit the store. I'm excited to chat with him and also think he'd be great resource for the aspiring writers among us. However, I only want to commit if we can get a decent crowd. Can everyone shoot me a note indicating your level of interest (won't/might/definitely come.) It would be a 7pm event and open to everyone. We'll probably provide some beer, wine, and snacks.
Also, remember the Sarah Smarsh Heartland event is coming on October 2nd. As I mentioned at the last meeting, this book is a big deal and we're lucky to get her. Andrew Lowenstein passed on this nice review in the NY Times. Event is free to attend and will be in the store's used book cellar.
Lastly, I'm attaching this link from Ken Graves to a Vulture.com article on the 100 best books of the 2000s. (Please substitute the Amazon links with those of your favorite independent bookstore.) :) Interestingly, the article names 12 "new classics" and we've read 5 of them in our group. See if you can guess them before you link in.....
Hope all is well and that I'll see you in a couple of weeks.
