Hi Doc (and everyone in the book club!),
I’m so bummed I missed out on the first meeting by a couple days! Although, to be fair I even if I had joined the group sooner I still most likely wouldn't have been far enough in the book to participate. Does this mean I won’t be able to participate as a character – with my name drawn from the hat? Also, did I hear correctly that the next meeting will be in October or November?
I’m getting settled into the book. It is my first reading and I am enjoying myself greatly, thus far. I’m currently on page 220 – CH. 24. A weird note: I am reading the uncut Anchor Books edition paperback. Is anyone else reading this edition? I only ask because my copy does not seem to divide the book into three parts. Do the other editions do this?
Thanks everyone! I'm so excited!
