Book club is scheduled for Tuesday, Novemeber 17th.
How does 6:00 sound? Does that give people time to get home if they need to (ie me...I need to take grace home and then head back out) or its not too late, if people stay at work?
And let's have a casual dinner...I like the idea of Panera again. Its central to everyone and has a big-ish selection of food for people (and its not too expensive).
Does that sound good for everyone? Any big objections, please email and I will update!
Now I just have to read the book!!!
Thanks!

A Tie?
OK, so both polls ended in ties...I will be the tie-breakers...
I am removing my vote for the book, so the winner is
Old Man and the Sea.
And because the 11th is next Wednesday (only 5 days away), the date of book club is Tuesday, November 17th.
I hope both are OK for most everyone. As I said before, lets not cancel and reschedule, or we aren't ever going to have book club.
Now, we just need to pick a place...any suggestions?

Its a Go
So, its seems like there is interest in book club before the end of the year, and picking a new, shorter book is good. So, I am adding TWO polls on the side...
1. Pick a date - I added a bunch of dates in mid-November. Both during the week and on the weekend. Please select any and all days you are available.
2. Pick a book - So that we actually have time to get and then read our books, I put two of the books in the poll. I know not everyone gave suggestions and input, but in the interest of time, I'm just going with the books I found and the suggestion that was given.
For both polls, majority will win. Its a given that not everyone will be available. The reality is if we continue to try and find a date where EVERYONE is available, book club will just continue to be pushed off, later and later and the likelihood we actually have one is slim. So, let's just go with whatever date the MOST people are available.

2009 final book
Sorry for not doing this sooner....but, there appears to still be interest in having a book club. And if people are interested, we could plan one final get together before the end of the year.
Here are my thoughts...If we pick a new, somewhat short book, we could meet in right before Thanksgiving (Sat Nov 21 or Sun Nov 22) . If that weekend doesn't work, we could always pick a weeknight evening, which might be more flexible, especially if we pick the date in advance.
Books with less than 200 pages

Here are two books I found quickly:
Night 128 pages
Animal Farm - 140 pages
Any other suggestions? How is the date? Do we actually what to do this before the end of the year?

Just checking in to see if anyone is still interested in having our book club. I don't know if we are all too busy with work and our lives. Or if the little escape of our book club is a good thing. Either way, we should decide who is still interested (if anyone).
If there is interest, we should make plans for a gathering for later this fall.
Thoughts? Feel free to leave a comment. Vote in the poll over to the right. Or feel free to email me directly and I will take you off the distribution list.

Our Next Book & Date
Thanks again to Jen for taking the lead and organizing the last book club. We had a great time and spirited discussion of Eat, Pray, Love. At that meeting, we picked our next book and the date of our next gathering.
The book is: Firefly Lane, by Kristin Hannah.
Book club will be Sunday, May 17th, 2:00 at Montgomeryville Panera.
Please come to the next book club with your calendar/date book (as we will try to pick the date of the next one) and your book suggestion. Also, let's decide if meeting at Panera is something we want to continue or if she should go back to the "orginal" format.
Also, if you have not attended the last few bookclubs, we may be removed from the distribution list. If you still want to attend, but just haven't been able to attend the last few, please let me know and I will keep you on the list.
