What are you reading this week of September 10, 2017?
Reading Henry and Clara by Thomas Mallon, the story of a young couple who were in the theater booth with Lincoln that fateful night. So far it's really good.
Kind of caught up right now with keeping an eye on the news. It's all rather stunning. Another devastating 9/11. 
Hope all our members stay safe.

And oddly enough, we have a group member here who uses that name, Number9Dream. 
Cool!
She's dancing. We do a lot of that at my house.

I'm already deeply depressed. I think this would put me right over the edge. 
Hi Hermetic. I had to abridge my summer reading. I had cataract surgery, but I'm back, with new eyes. I'm reading Pride and Prejudice for the umpteenth time. Mr. Wickham has just arrived in Meryton, Bingley is planning a ball and Mr. Collins has come, like froggie, a courtin'.. I'm also reading Perdido Street Station by China Mieville. So far it's about a scientist whose girlfriend has the head of an insect. Body parts are interchangeable and grotesques are propagated by the criminal justice system, headquartered menacingly at Perdido Street Station. The girlfriend is an artist with a terriying commission. She works in bug spit and I think she's in danger. This is steampunk, whatever that may be. God knows where this will lead. I hope you're well above storm surge. 
your surgery went well. Being able to see is quite precious. 
Perdido Street Station sounds pretty out there. I'll have to look into that. Love steampunk art, hard to imagine it as a writing form. Bound to be popular, though.
