Porcelain Book Club Update 12/19

Sorry for the long absence. It's certainly not due to any problems on S's end - he's made good progress on "The Magus" and is now on page 600.

A discussion point:

"The mystery woven in this story works because of a very clever and well writ factor - that the main character is skeptical of the web woven around him even before the reader, thus precluding our disbelief and also having us continually want to follow the character because he's always one very short step ahead of us. It gives you no real chance to think laterally since you're always just about to catch up with the character himself, who is kept off balance by the this other character, the weaver of the web of lies."

Deep. Talk amongst yourselves.

Porcelain Book Club Update 12/4

S is on page 133. Not bad progress. S must be getting lots of fiber.

Deep thoughts and discussion questions to emerge soon.

Ew.

Update - Porcelain Book Club

S is on page 56 today. I'm glad he's found the time to read 35 pages since yesterday's update.

I'm sure some deep discussion questions will follow soon.

The Porcelain Book Club

Whenever my coworker S walks by my desk, book in hand, I know that he's planning to spend some quality time in the loo.

So, in honor of Mr. S, I am launching the "Porcelain Book Club." Today, S is reading "The Magus" by John Fowles. He's currently on page 21. I'll post regular page updates for those of you who'd like to follow along. When S has finished the book, he will share a few discussion questions for you to ponder while having a poo.
