Online Book Club

Bookworks is starting a (mostly) online book club!  Our first book selection is Elif Batuman's The Possessed: Adventures with Russian Books & the People Who Read Them - an essay collection I think will give us plenty of potential things to talk about (as well as some fun external media... I wonder if Woody Allen's Love and Death will be relevant!)

Please email me at lkuechen@gmail.com - I'll be sorting out a few technical details soon, and I'd like to have the email addresses of those who wish to be involved, because I may have come up with a really fun way to conduct the discussions online, and I'll need to email all of you details.

We'll also make a point to talk about future book choices, since there was no overwhelming majority selected from the poll - I picked Batuman's collection for convenience and length, in addition to content, but I promise this won't be a dictatorship of book choices! 

Since it's the end of February, let's shoot for 3/29 to begin our discussions - and to emphasize it: PLEASE email me so that I have a contact list to provide an easy link via email a couple days prior.
