This is the first time I've checked it! I like the idea of it.. and of The Infidel. MAybe we could make the meeting a little later in October? I think I am due to host.. I do have a roomie moving in for a few months... so if you would like to host, Joyita, I'm fine with that. But I am happy to host either way..
Let me know and I'll send an email out with all the info.
Hope Alberta is good. And Toronto!

my vote

Hey bookworms,

I say we read Infidel. If no one else has offered yet, I can host. The middle of October seems good, considering we haven't chosen the book yet. Is this blog the best way to communicate? Who's checking it regularly?

Another Idea

Hi Goldies,

Are people up for another suggestion? Not to derail anyone who has already gotten going on By Grand Central, but it seems like there might be time for another suggestion.

Here is a book I'm really interested in, that is right in line with our female focussed philosophy.

Perhaps if not now, then at some time in the future? It's a memoir and also a survivor story as well as a unique view on the world of Islam.

Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
