MEETING #2 (10/19/2014)

Club business first:

We discussed creating a logo for our group. After some discussion and brainstorming, we came up with a concept design and a potential artist to commission to do the work. Ok the artist part is a real stretch because he is me, and he/I is not a professional artist, not even a real good amateur one. But I'm free. The logo we came up with is the same logo that is on the front page of this blog, right under the title.

Indy also shared an inspirational story about a muscle-bound, macho, male football player in Atlanta who joined a book club full of not muscle-bound, not macho, female not-football players. They all seemed to get along well. We were all inspired by Indy's story.

Diesel introduced a motion for Squid to be invited into the club. The motion was seconded by Deuce and the subsequent vote was unanimous. Welcome to The Novel Spirits Squid!!

Indy also had a good idea for us to take notes of meaningful passages within the stories we read, as well as any new words we learned. These can provide good talking points for discussions on the book.

The club then discussed the current book. The next post will summarize the club's discussion of IN COLD BLOOD, by Truman Capote...
