OK, as far as our official next meeting goes, it will be in late September, and the book we will discuss is called The Invention of Morel. I think it will be good. It is a MYSTERY BOOK. I found the name of this book written on a post-it on my desk a couple weeks ago, written in my handwriting, but I have no idea when or where I heard of the book. Spooky! Something to do with Borges, I guess, because his name was written down, too. And there also appears to be a Louise Brooks connection. I am a big fan of hers. Ami, share that quote you found from her with everyone.
So... more to come regarding the book and the meetup, but in the meantime, comment, weigh in, and let me know how you're all feeling. I'm still willing to be swayed toward Atmospheric Disturbances if everyone's gung-ho for it, and if you have a strong feeling about the date this next meeting should take place, feel free to cast your vote now!
Ah, here, my deeries, is a better link, i think: http://www.nybooks.com/shop/product?usca_p=t&product_id=1229
Still, I have to say that I think the less read about this book before actually picking it up, the better. Let the mystery unfold first! Background info later.

Thanks for not disbanding, Megan!
I'm excited about this pick, as I've wanted to read this for a while. For those unfamiliar with the series, NYRB Classics are simply concentrated awesomeness.

Hey! I am excited to be a first-time Book Club participant, though a long-time straggler. This book looks awesome.
