One of our dear Curiouser Than Usual Book Club Foundation Members, (try say that over the phone receptionists of the world), sent me a photo of his copy of The Great Gatsby. He's loving it. So will you. Here's the picture to inspire you to get reading. Have a fabulous Tuesday everyone.
ok, so is this an in-the-flesh bookclub where you all sit around a room with tea and cakes and discuss the merit of F Scott Fitzgeralds literary classic? or is this a purely virtual club? If so can I get in on the action? always wanted to join a bookcluub. Can we read George Orwells 1984? always meant to read that too....
I found that you can read it online, which in no way compares to a real book. But until I can pick up a copy, perhaps out at tyabb packing house later in the week, it will have to do. Read it in highschool, it's much different 15 odd years later.
Wow! Thanks Rachel. I had no idea there were awards, thanks heaps. And thanks for joining the Curiouser Than Usual Book Club (CTUBC). It's taking off! Haha. :D
Ok, good question. Once you've finished the book you'll have to wait until the rest of the club has finished reading theirs. I'm going to give them 'til Wednesday next week. But the next book we're going to read/discuss is 1984 - George Orwell, so you can start that if you want. But great job reading it so quickly!

ReplyDeleteYes. The CTU Book Club is a virtual book club. So you're in! And 1984 sounds like a great next book. How are you going with the The Great Gatsby?
