Our First Book! I'm so exicted!

Dare I say the first meeting was a success? Thanks to everyone who attended! I've just finished typing up everyone's book suggestions and I can't wait to start reading. I'll post the complete list with links to Amazon.com very soon so you can check them out too. I'm particularly interested in Juniper's selection My Year of Meats by Ruth L. Ozeki. Not suprising considering we both suggested Margaret Atwood's The Penelopiad: The Myth of Penelope and Odysseus which will be OUR FIRST BOOK. Originally the group had decided on The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Sutterfield but unfortunately it's only available in hardcover at the moment. We will have to read that one at a later date! So go on out and buy the Penelopiad folks! I'm hoping to add a list of English book stores in Tokyo to this blog so if you know of any that aren't listed on the handout we gave out yesterday than post a comment or send an email. The December meeting will also take place at La Clea but we are open to suggestions for the January meeting. I think everyone agrees that it was a little bit too noisy for proper discussion to take place (although they do have the best Royal Milk Tea I've ever tasted). So again any ideas would be appreciated!
