CP Book Club - Monday, July 21st 7:30 @ Brewster's 11 Ave and 8th St
Final results are in, and the date for the next CP Book Club meeting is as shown in the title:
Monday, July 21st 7:30 @ Brewster's 11 Ave and 8th St SW
Once again, the book to read for discussion that day is:
The Cunning Man - Robertson Davies
I will arrive a bit early and grab a table; look for the tall dark-haired dude wearing the Flames Iginla #12 t-shirt and carrying the book in question.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
Read the book! You can go HERE to see the Penguin reading guide for the book, which may help you if you are not used to thinking critically about what you are reading, although certainly it is acceptable to just read it and be ready to discuss it if that feels too much like schoolwork to you. Other than that, all that is needed is the pleasure of your company, no dues, fees, or other requirements.

That's for the advanced class, you might want to hold off on that one for now.

I'm reading... I picked up the book and then got home to see that it was already sitting on my bookshelf. And as I started to read realized that I've already read it once. But I'm rereading anyway, as it must have been about 10 years ago that I first read it.

I went to a Coles today and they told me that there wasn't a single copy in any of their stores in the city.

Unfortunately I returned it that day. But I know I've seen it in used bookstores before, so I'd recommend calling around and seeing if any of them have it in stock.

I'm having the same problem - probably will order it from Amazon if I can't find it this weekend.

This is really an awesome idea, to have a CP Book Club. If I lived in the area, I would have loved doing this.
Sorry to interrupt the thread, just thought I would give you all a collective pat on the back, you may get back to planning...

Well, I'm 0-2 now. At least I read the book this time! Sorry for the lack of attendance, driving to Kelowna this AM for a week.
