Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

it was always filled with awesome book-reading women

::weeps and weeps for the book club since I've never found one I like here in DC::

And they were just awesome women who happened to read books. Yo.

eta: Speaking of which, Solange, do you have a current email address for our mutual friend D, whose birthday is coming up?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sparky, are you anywhere near Politics & Prose? They have good book club connections.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Stupid question: why the book thread isn't holding (or maybe it is and I'm way too many posts behind) monthly book club virtual meetings? What am I missing?

(I know, because you only go to the book club to eat good food and meet cute girls/boys).

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

We tried a separate thread for that, and it didn't work. It got closed a while ago.

In thread the thought was it would be potentially too disruptive/disrupted of/by other discussion.

Although looking at it now in the "Closed Threads" area, it was reopened then closed again for discussion of the last Harry Potter book.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I see: I figured there was a good reason for it.

Sparky, I too have no book groups currently, and I can't believe it's been over 4 years now. Going from 3 down to none at all has made me v sad and lonely. But they were a hard act to follow. If your profile addy (ooh, lookit Solange with the lingo!) is good, I'll send D's email to you.

My profile addy is good. Thanks! I'm not sure that what I have for her works these days.
