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.
