Books are Sooper.

Hi guys!

So I haven't posted on my own blog in a million billion but I hope to be a better "club" member so I'll try to blog with y'all.

I thought some of you might appreciate a few recommendations I received for the reading list. It's pretty diverse so there may be at least one that interests you. I was also thinking some feedback would be nice, getting an indication of what the majority of people are interested in reading together will help me pick a book when it's my turn.

Your Co-Super, Amazing, Clubbee,

Maren

I have had three different people tell me that "Peace Like a River" is there favorite book. I really want to read it.

I have not read any of them but they all sound interesting based on title alone. I especially liked the title of A Thousand Splendid Suns and of course the The Whistling Season. I need to get my license before the season starts. My question is what is the daily limit when you bag whistles and what are you allowed to use when harvesting a whistle. OK I am probably not imagining the right kind of whistling season but someone needs to give some feedback.

I have heard good things about most of those but havent read them myself.

And Mike, I think the real question we should be asking is, can you stuff a whistle in your basement taxidermy shop? And how will it look next to your Imogen heap poster? And will it keep me from ever darkening your doorstep again?

Because we all know how I feel about taxidermy. And whistles.
