Yes, sorry this post is for the business portion of our Huck Finn meeting back at the end of June. I have received much chastisement and I don't know how much more my poor heart can take :.(...
And on that note, if we made a line graph of the amount of chastisement at the beginning of our club all the way through now, it would be exponential growth. This is a pretty brutal group. Well the Novel Spirits are a selective group and not everyone is cut out for this hard core lifestyle. Such is life.
The Huck Finn club meeting was at Indy's place and wow what a great set-up she's got up there! Streams, lakes, four wheelers, gators (mechanical kind not animal kind), fire pit, hot dogs, smores.... it was really great.
I brought the club's very first purchase, the book safe, and it was fairly well approved by everyone I think. Also, I think we have a completed drawing for our Novel Spirits logo, which is posted near the top of this blog.
We planned to take a club field trip to Thomas Wolfe's house in Asheville, NC since we had recently read LOOK HOMEWARD ANGEL. We were going to go on August 9th but unfortunately we discovered that the house is not open on Sundays, or maybe just that Sunday, not sure.
Also, big news!!!!: There was a sighting of the rare Waldo!! He briefly made an appearance but left shortly thereafter. The man is a legend.
We also dressed up in Huck Finn attire! That was fun and slightly nerdy, but we are proud nerds. I know pictures were taken, but I don't seem to have any on my phone or computer. Maybe I'll break my policy of striving for online anonymity and post some of our pictures on this blog if I can get copies of them. I'll get everyone's permission first.
Bean and Taz obtained name changes: Bean is now Chief, and Taz is now Boss. Both eerily accurate names.
Chief's next book (which we have already read and discussed by now) was JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH. I don't think any of us liked it. It was quite strange and random.
And I think Indy updated the "Off the Grid" segment? Someone did and it wasn't me. Leave us alone NSA!!!!!
Our next book was revealed as THE BOOK THIEF, which again, we have already read and discussed. The post for that discussion will follow soon.
Sorry for the hiatus (again) Novel Spirits, I'm ready for the relentless chastisment of you pain inflicters....
Until next time
Yes Baron you are correct in your deduction - I finally posted the Off The Grid portion of our blog! Your instructions were great - thanks so much! I too don't deal well with the chastisements so I decided to "git er done"!
