A Book Club For Men
Next Meeting:
7:00 PM on Monday, September 21st, at Steve Carvalho's feng shui estate. We'll be discussing whatever. Frazier's 13 Moons if you've read it.
The Horde Demands It:
- 1) No girls allowed (a girl tried, once)
- 2) You do NOT have to read the book to discuss the book (a relief to those of you who can't read)
- 3) No Oprah books (this, amazingly, includes Cormac McCarthy's The Road, which has no place on Oprah's Book Club, but we cannot break this very important rule)
