I sense a t-shirt in our future - or maybe more appropriately, a flak jacket...

I'm probably going to move the start date for Fathers and Crows to either June 17 or 24. I'll be traveling the last week of May and first two weeks of June, so I can use a little cushion in the schedule. I'll post a final schedule in a couple of weeks after I receive the books and page through them a bit.

Count me in!

I'd like to read more JM Coetzee. Just started Diary of a Bad Year but it would be interesting to get a group read of other books. He also had a new book coming in September.

I don't know his work. Any particular titles you think would be good reads for the group and/or that you'd like to read?


PS. I started a thread for 2014 here:
