BOOK CLUBHOUSE

Welcome to the Tumblr book club: We will be reading a book each month and talking about it here. Feel free to post images, ideas, reactions, dialogues, or conversation starters as you read.

If you would like to join, just start reading and posting. For a group invite or information on the New York book meetup each month, please email tumblrbooks{at}gmail.com.

We are in the process of picking a fun summer read. Suggestions appreciated.

The reason the World Cup is in South Africa is because FIFA made a conscious decision to include everyone in the world’s biggest event. Even poor little Africa, where no one wants to visit and where locals can’t afford tickets, gets its chance to contribute. FIFA’s president summed it up best by saying, “”Would you want to see a ban on the fan traditions in your country?” Their traditions may not be as old as yours, but you’ll have to forgive South Africans for getting a late start. They were a little occupied.

So…Catch-22

I haven’t ever read this before.  I got about a chapter into it when I left it by my chair at the pool and someone swiped it, thus the suggesting to read it now.  I am normally a really fast reader and I am finding this really chewy? It is so intricate sometimes that I have to reread paragraphs, which is fine, but now I am wondering what kind of crap do I normally read that makes this a little more difficult. Or maybe Heller is just a difficult read anyway?  This is the first of his that I am reading so I don’t have an answer to that either. 

Hope yall are enjoying it though. I really am.

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

by Junot Diaz

It’s like Gabriel Garcia Marquez on crack. Set on the East Coast and in the Dominican Republic. With ample political commentary. Sexual repression. And the hot hot Caribbean heat.

Must. Read.
