How about "Regal Social Club Book Club Pagemaster?" How do you feel about "Regal Social Club Book Club Pagemaster?" How about "SeƱor Pagemaster"? Then you'd have to be Mexican to understand it. Like this guy: AlfonsoLovesWineCoolers.ytmnd.com

I think this thread should go in Bolocratic Affairs.

There, I moved it for you. Aren't I a way better administrator than Kleech?
Yes. Yes I am.

Okay:
A few things were decided at tonights meeting. Here they are:
- The Regal Social Club Book Club will officially become active on the first of next month. I, Matt Neubert, as president, will choose the first book, which is A Good Man is Hard to Find by Flannery O'Connor.
- Each member will get to pick a book for each month afterward. Once I know who all is participating, I will make a list at random to determine the order. Book selections must be made known at least a week in advance.
- It's a little up in the air as far as how we'll get the books. Probably just on your own, but I'll look for a way we can get them cheaper - like online or something.
- You may choose more than one book (prolly no more than three though) as long as those books combine for around 300 pages.
- We will meet as early as possible (like 5ish) before Wednesday Regal meetings and discuss the book. Attendance is optional, but strongly encouraged.
- We will also be cooking things during these meetings. Like Greek food and stuff. Lots of garlic and olives.
- Every effort will be made to keep the Regal Social Club Book Club irony-free. We will try to take it as serious as we can, no matter how much we think it's stupid.
- Books can be something you've always wanted to read or something you think everyone would like or should read.
- If there's any disagreement over a particular selection (like, most of us have already read it or something), whoever disagrees will have a chance to explain why they don't want to read it and if I, Matt Neubert, President of the Regal Social Club Book Club, find that reason valid, we'll take a vote.
- I've just decided to make Jim Vanderbilt Vice President of the Regal Social Club Book Club.
Okay, so if you're going to participate, say so now so I can make the list. If I forgot anything we decided on at tonights meeting, Include that and any suggestions you have in your post. In the meantime, think about your selection and go buy A Good Man is Hard to Find.
Also:
I am taking this too seriously ironically.

There was also a suggestion that the food tie in with the book. Like fried chicken for Flannery O'Connor, maybe. Oh, and I decided on my first book - In the Shadow of Man by Jane Goodall. Just to let everyone know. But I might have a class Wednesday nights from 7-8.

Yeah. I'm sure I'll still get an A though. It is MSU, after all.

Dude, dank choice. Borges is sweet. He's one of the few non-English speaking fiction writers I can get down with.

So do I get second choice? Or will it be completely random?

I think it will be random. It's the fairest way to do it.

so this is the book for this month due the first meeting of september right? You should get the book by the 1st. The first meeting is on the 7th. You do not need to have the book finished by then.
