Sequel???
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Of course, the Language of sand was another book that could have sent us to the dictionary ( The main character was a lexicographer ) , but it actually had the definitions in the book

FYI: today's Groupon is $10 for $20 at Barnes & Noble. They are, however, slammed right now, and people can't log in through the main site. (You can log in through their backup site -- my. groupon. com.)

I like Colette's Cheri, and Marguerite Duras' The Lover -- although The Lover is definitely a novel, although it is a slim one. It's very dense.

I'm wondering if there are enough classics, or contemporary classics, to do a "Food and Drink" theme for the salon. I can think of a number of movies that revolve around meals or food, but the only obvious novel that comes to mind is Zola’s The Belly of Paris. Ideas?
I’d also like to do something on “Royals and Rulers.” Can people recommend other books along the lines of Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel?

Hemingway's early stories often have a good food scene. Usually cooked over a fire while camping or something.
Wasn't Babbette's Feast originally a novel?
