Joel,
We have convened a meeting of the Taylor Book Club. You were not invited for a reason. It is the unanimous decision of the group that unless you post a February book selection by midnight today you will be placed on double secret probation, and I will have to choose a Danielle Steele novel for your February selection which only you will be mandated to read, AND, submit a precis regarding the same to the book club. The rest of us, by default, will be reading "Homage to Catalonia" by George Orwell. This book should be available in all public libraries so I suggest our members secure one now. It can be bought cheaply in paperback but I abhor wasting money so please rent from the library and give the amount you would have paid for the book to the book club treasury to see if we can pay for a remedial reading course for Joel(he will need it once he gets hooked on Danielle Steele".

I am going to the library today to order or procure if they have it, "Homage to Catalonia" - George Orwell - if you are "Pulling our legs" and their is such a book, I will have it read before any of you. The only problem is "Will I retain what I have read, when you all read and finish with no comments for me to enjoy? LOL Mom
ReplyDeleteDear Mom,
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed a book, and it is appropriate that it was chosen for Joe by proxy, as part of it is set in Barcelona. You may recall that Joe attended university there.
Love,
Jeff
OK...I have been delayed in responding. I gave my laptop to Eric while his is getting repaired. I have never set my office desktop to my personal email or blogs. Kept that on my laptop. Anyway, a long story to say that I have been out of the loop for about 4 weeks or so. Homage to Catalonia? OK...off to the library.
