I'll click through your link, but I'll be really annoyed that I have to. Relevant details should be relevant... And obvious.
Edit:
Oh, it's the "Join PAX IRC and hope someone notices" rules again...
Sorry, too complicated (For a software engineer) so I'll pass. I'll work with or start a book club that doesn't use IRC. Sorry or wasting time.
Relevant info: #PAX East: 3 Coin Lunch organizer. 2012 Trading card available. Pokecrawl Assistant 2012. Pokecrawl attendee 2011. Cult of the Leaf attendee 2012.
Requirements to maximize literary enjoyment:
Leather lounge chair (with matching foot rest)

*Edit* A friend's birthday is the 25th (tonight). I won't be able to make it to this one. Great book though! Fervently avoiding wikipedia, I was not expecting where any of the starting stories would go. I'm sorry to miss the gathering tonight, but I heartily look forward to the next book.

What is your latest book coming up? I have followed your old thread.
For anyone following the thread and not the IRC channel, conflicts? I'll also update as people chime in via IRC as well. We will likely use a google hangout, but that's still up in the air.
folks attended: gilles, britality, chaosisorder, atomicgarybusey, zerzhul, khadour

I'll be skipping this month. Dhalgren is one of the worst books ever written in English, by a wide margin. I used my copy as a footstool until recently, when I convinced Ay1ene to take it from me. It's a huge Black Eye for William Gibson that he wrote the intro in my edition, I try to pretend he didn't. I can only imagine that it was picked because none of you have actually tried getting through it -- it's terrible.
We are actually reading In Cold Blood by Truman Capote for April
Discussion will be the week of May 5-11

I exclaimed "Khoo is my Sensei!"
So if memes make great shirts,
And Pod Six is Jerks,
Then Moe, Khoo and I had our day.
