I overlooked the new book club until I read about it in another thread. I still think this is a great idea and regardless of the book chosen, reading is continuous education for each and everyone of us. Is Drinking Culturas still the book to read? If so, I would suggest giving us another week to get the book and once everyone gets it, mention it here and then set a start date to begin reading and announce a date for the discussion.
I think each member of the group should suggest one book, whether it be the classics to culture orientated and in turn we form a list from those suggestions this way each member gets to contribute to our reading group. I really think, this club just needs a bit of organizing and re-grouping to get it off the ground and to get more to participate. |

This is entirely my fault. I was so hyped about getting it started and then i was hit with personel stuff that i completely shund the responsibility of the book club.
I would still very much like to do it though. so cuss me out all you want, but give a man a second chance. |

Stuff happens and I'm sure we're all understanding to that.
I just ordered the book and even if you change your mind about that selection, it still looks good. You are the leader, just let us know when you're ready. I'm sure we all want to see this idea grow to its fullest potential. |

I don't know what's going on with this thread but I must say that I started to read Drink Cultura this weekend and I like it lots. It's humerous & thought provoking. This book really adds to my appreciation for my culture.

The next book to read - will be when someone picks one and announces it
![]() ![]() Recommended by Gigglez916, with her review: Lupita Manana, by Patricia Beatty. I cried in this book. I read this book in the 7th grade. This was the book that opened my eyes for the first time about what was going on with our people. It was very impacting, I was stuck on it, the kind of book you just can't put down. Lupita goes through so much, at moments you just feel terrified for her, and you feel her heart break. It's just so impacting, this one's a must.

Suave, you haven't had a good idea since you've created this thread.
I'm thinking people might be interested in trying this Soy book club again... *attempts to resurrect the dead thread*
