Hello friends! As I prepare for a long-awaited winter hibernation in Crestone, I’m looking forward to bringing back some of the community interaction and activity that I had going on in the pre-Substack era. Traveling over the past year has been amazing, but moving around so much made it virtually impossible for me to maintain the same level of connectivity and output as I had in the previous couple of years.
Since I was mentioning fiction in the discord previously, I have a few ideas. I was thinking either a Chuck Palahniuk book or a Tim O'brien book (Going After Cacciato, or The Things They Carried). They both have really interesting writing styles but Chuck is a little more explicit haha I can't decide which book we would like better. The first one that comes to mind is Beautiful You. The Tim O'brien books are loosely "war books" about the Vietnam war but he writes in such a way that you're not totally sure which parts are made up and yet it still feels so human and relatable. Both goods choices but I might be leaning towards Going After Cacciato.
I'm not sure what exactly is required to co-host, but I thought I'd put these ideas out there :)
This sounds incredible! I've discovered some incredible books thanks to the podcast so I've no doubt that the book club picks will be just as enriching. Looking forward to discovering incredible reads.
There are so many good fiction books but I was aiming for something with interesting writing and/or symbology. I'm still down to read The Unbearable Lightness of Being if others are interested. We could even ask the Doctopher to guest-host haha!
I've been halfway thru Tinker Creek for two months...I'm excited to have the motivation to focus and complete it
Yayyyy! looks awesome!
