So the first meeting of the CP book club was a tremendous success, what with all the hookers and blow and such. Some good discussion about the book and some thoughtful discussion about rollercoasters and such.

We're now looking toward a meeting sometime in March. As far as dates, Flames home game dates are out. The superstitious might suggest that Flames road game dates should also be out too, based on Friday's results. If we meet in mid march, some possible dates would be around the weekend of the 15th: either on Saturday during the day or early evening, or Sunday before or after the Flames road game in Chicago.

As far as books to read for the next meeting, we'll do a quick vote. I'll suggest a couple titles, and Firefly, Jammies, and anyone else who's interested can suggest something as well.

As well, if we have enough people, we can possibly get books at a discount. My wife and I own a bookstore that specializes in arts and design books, but we have contacts with most book distributors, so depending on the title, we could order it in for CP book club members at a 25% discount. Let me know if this is interesting to people. (Downside is that there will be a delay before getting the books in, so it might be better to look at for future months).

I'll give my suggestions in another post.
