GBC September 20th 8:00 Poor Herbie's Book: Charle Wilson's War by George Crile

Hey everyone, I had a great time last night. Please be sure to see the "This Months Book" session and give me your feedback.

In this email:

• Next Meeting
• This Months Book
• Last Meeting's Attendance
• Decisions of 1st Meeting
• Suggested Books

Next Meeting Thursday, September 20th at 8:00 at Poor Herbie's. Let me know if you are planning to attend.

This Months Book Charlie Wilson's War:...by George Crile . This will be interesting because the author died today (hopefully this isn't a pattern of us killing off authors we are interested in)! This is in replacement of the "book" we voted for. We assumed the movie "National Treasure" (and it's soon to premiere sequel "National Treasure: Book of Secretes") were based on books. Rumor is the original movie was a rip off of "The Da Vinci Code", but not an original book.

Last Meeting's Attendance
Scott, Scott, Jeff, Matt, Micheal, Paul, and Sandeep

Decisions of 1st Meeting We need to decide the following:

1. Frequency of the book club's meetings: Monthly, 3rd Thursday of the month.
2. Next Meetings Date: Thursday, September 20th 8:00
3. Next Meetings Location: Poor Herbie's was choosen as our regular location.

GBC August 16h 8:00 Poor Herbies

Hey everyone,

I am finally getting around to starting my "Guy's book club". (RSVP appreciated!)

After sitting home month after month while my wife goes out with the girls to eat, drink (and sometimes discuss the book they read which typically involved some suppressed woman in either a 3^rd world country or previous century) I decided it was time for the guys to have their night out too.

I propose we have an initial meeting at Poor Herbies on Thursday, August 16h at 8:00 P.M. This will give us a chance to drink some beers, hang out, and decide if we want to create this book club! Please be prepared to discuss the following:

• Frequency of the book club's meetings (I suggest every other month)
• Place to meet (I would be happy to host the first one if we decided to meet at people's houses, otherwise we can pick a new location)
• Will the club have a genre? (I like science fiction/fantasy, but I'm also open to anything)
• What will be our first book? ( I will probably toss out two books:

1. His Dark Materials Trilogy (The Golden Compass; The Subtle Knife; The Amber Spyglass) by Philip Pullman
2. On Call in Hell: a Doctor's Iraq War Story by Cdr Richard Jadick. Hopefully everyone will have suggestions so we have a great list to choose from)

Let me know if you would like to join the club ( and can make the 16^th).

Let me know if there is anyone else you would like to invite to join our club.

Let me know if you have any books you would like to suggest.

Thanks! I think this will be fun.
