I will try to attend too! I am interested in seeing what approach they will take for this.

Hey everyone! I recently saw that there is currently an exhibition at the Carnegie Museum on decorative arts at the World's Fairs. Here's the link with more info:

Since we're reading Devil in the White City, a book about the Chicago World Fair, I figured we could organize a "field trip" to go see the exhibit. It would have to be done before February 24th, when the exhibit closes. Also, if you work for the CPL, you can get in for free! Anyone interested?

Yeah, I just saw that the party IS at Alma (is that where you work, Travis?). So, let's just make it one of the mini book discussions at the party. If more than one person wants to discuss the book with me, that'd be just fine! :-)

Just want to know...are we still thinking about meeting at Alma on the 5th to discuss Norwegian Wood? Since it's on the same day as the party, I assume we would be meeting earlier in the day, right?

I would be up for meeting on the 5th to discuss Norwegian Wood if we can get several people to come. Besides us, I know Johnna read the book and would be willing to come if she doesn't have other plans.

It IS rather frustrating that so many people express interest in a book club yet many don't seem to be willing to invest the time into it. Maybe most people are just too busy...

It could just be that people are busy because of the holiday season. Why don't we see what happens January/February, when people don't have as much to do?

Travis, thank you so much for all the effort you are putting into getting this book club off the ground and coming up with all these great ideas for it.

I am willing to put in the time to participate in this book club. And if I ever feel like I can no longer put in the time, I will let you know.

El, you should post this (the first post on this thread at least) to the FB page to get more people to see it. If you'd rather, I could do it.
