And the next meetup is Monday, April 24, 2017!RSVP here for bookclub glory
We had a nice round of drinks after the March bookclub, maybe we can do that again...
I was going to be happy either way with the final round, as Howl's Moving Castle would be a fun re-read (and short, to boost my 2017 Reading Challenge goal!), *and* I had already bought Invisible Library last month and hadn't started it yet. But I did lean towards Invisible Library since it'd be a new read for me.Hurrah all around for an awesome tournament in which many worthy titles duked it out!
And the March book is Gateway by Fredrick Pohl!
Next meetup is Monday, Feb 27!RSVP HERE
If Bob shows up, maybe we'll even go drinking afterwards again!

There is a roughly 0% chance I'll be done with th..."
I'm 73% done and will definitely finish by Monday.
Unless I'm the only one who finishes, James, you will get to join, and Veronica, you get to re-join, that illustrious club-within-a-club: Those Temporarily Excused From the Table So the Rest Can Dish Spoilers. (I've been a proud member of that club-within-a-club twice so far.)
Howdy all, our first meeting for the new year will be Monday, January 23. Hope to see you there!RSVP here
Fresno Bob wrote: "I'm only going if there will really be drinking after!"There will be!
OK! New date: Wed, Nov 16! RSVP here!
Hopefully more can make it that day. The Supreme Sword will be there, you should be too!
With the crazy holiday season coming up, it will be our last Borderlands bookclub meetup of 2016, with the regularly scheduled program resuming in January. But we'll keep a lookout for author events, etc regardless - Sky, I can't make that Oct 25th event, but if you want to post an event to see if S&L'ers can make it, please do!
Ok since we have 0 yes's so far (beside myself), I'll see if Borderlands has an alternate night available soon. Stay tuned...
Next meetup is This meeting will also officially have a "let's now go to a local bar to drink and continue discussing" portion (meaning we're *finally* bending to Fresno Bob's wishes).
I hadn't thought about it, but you're right, his all-cap annotation-codes can be read like programming commands followed by the parameters of the command. As a side note, the alternate book title "Ravna & the Tines" would make a great band name ("Searching High and Low" the album title).
