Well, Brooke and I start the year off with 4 children, soon to be 5, as Brooke grows closer to giving birth. As you saw in her post we welcomed Chase Alan Scott and Kingston James Scott to the family. Sydney is our only little girl for a few more weeks. If it wasn't for our nannies we would be going crazy!

Back to the point of this update. The Writers Block will be having a Book Club starting this month. We are also still hiring, more so now that our head Barista Olive is becoming famous.

That being said, the info for the book club is down below. Sign up now.

BIG BOOK CLUB, PART 1
Thursday, January 21 | 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
THIS WINTER: 2666
A two-part book club discussion of Roberto Bolano’s novel, 2666.


The Big Book Club tackles some of the thickest and most enduring novels in world literature. Broken into two sessions over four months, the club invites readers to experience these books at a leisurely pace and to enjoy the companionship of fellow readers making the same journey at the same time.

In 2066, three academics are on the trail of a reclusive German author. A New York reporter on his first Mexican assignment; a widowed philosopher; a police detective in love with an elusive older woman—these are among the searchers drawn to the border city of Santa Teresa, where over the course of a decade hundreds of women have disappeared.

In the words of The Washington Post, “With 2666, Roberto Bolaño joins the ambitious overachievers of the twentieth-century novel, those like Proust, Musil, Joyce, Gaddis, Pynchon, Fuentes, and Vollmann, who push the novel far past its conventional size and scope to encompass an entire era…”

This is the first of two book-club sessions. Attendees are encouraged to read 2666 through Chapter 3 (pg. 349) by this first meeting.

It's been a while since I've read that one. It's a bold first pick for a book club.

It is a bold choice but my shop is a bold shop. We carry everything, and I mean everything for everyone.

It seems I have found an interesting place to stop by tomorrow. There has been many new classics since my time. I doubt I'll have time to read it all.

Stop by. Say hello as well. I like to greet my customers personally whenever possible.

I'll seek you out if you're in the shop when I'm there.

Big book club is right. I don't know many that would open that book without good reason. Like a book report.

You might be right about that. I am certain I will get a few, though. Even two is a good number as long as one does not have anyone to discuss with.

You might. I'm still on the fence about it.

How can we get you off the fence and on board?

Just come in the shop in New Orleans and sign up, pick up a copy of the book, too.

Congratulations about your new sons. It sounds like you have your hands full.

I've read the book before but I'd be interested in joining your book club.

Thank you. I do, but they are great kids.

I would like it. Come see me anytime before the start and sign up.

You might want to rethink your book choices. I can't see many signing up to read one like that.

Maybe next time we will do a vote on the book.

Oh wow, I'm always interested in a book club but I don't know. I don't know if it's my kind of book.

How would you know unless you try it?

Because I looked what the book was about.

But the cover and excerpt does not always explain the whole book.

I can't believe that I have more little brothers. Well, half brothers but that doesn't matter.

Yes, you do. Speaking of that, when will you come over to see your dear old dad miss?
