ERUDITES!
YAY! Today is the day of the return of my fantabulous Erudite Book Club Meetings. We have all been so busy the last few weeks that we have not been able to meet. We are doing Murder Mysteries from Neil Gaiman's short anthology Smoke & Mirrors.
This is a wonderful way to conduct Book Club imo -- we just do shorts so it fits well in the time we have available to read (takes me about 15 minutes in the tub). We have one anthology we read from atm -- so it's cheap and we get HOURS of reading & discussion time out of it. Well, I do have to pay for my expensive tea or Goose -- but that's a personal choice ;D.
Really, I suggest this to any of you who want to do a book club, but just can't seem to find the time to actually READ material that is 24643168 pages long. And doing it online with the Fandom Homeslices keeps us on task -- well, pretty much on task. But it's just another way to bond and expand our minds! We use Gchat Group to do this, but I am trying to talk them into Skyping it with me.
A fantastic short by Gaiman -- My ALL-TIME FAVE OF HIS is called Snow, Glass, Apples. It is also in his S&M anthology, but here it is as well. I highly recommend this to anyone who doesn't mind an alternative POV on a classic fairytale.
On a side note -- seriously on BSG -- I KNEW IT STARBUCK -- I JUST KNEW IT. And I think I may be falling HARD for Dollhouse. No, sideadde , you may NOT go on the Dushku diet.
