Non a Libri Dolus: Ist Month

[Amos]

Okay people. This is the 'not a book club. We are kicking things off with, as you may know, The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho. I don't foresee any problems. If you can't find this book, then chances are you live in the forest, and I don't know how you're even accessing the internet right now.

We have three weeks starting from today. Until then, please refrain from discussing the contents of the book. Anything else: comments about the author, questions or problems, are prefectly welcome. Talk about the cover-art if you like.

That said, it is a short-ish book, so if it looks like everybody has finished reading well before schedule we'll stop prematurely and get down to business

[sir archely]

i'm in as soon as i make it to the store.

[Eyreplenh]

Well, I'm done.

And here is an apple for you, mr/ms in charge person. *smiles like a brat and is a Good Boy*

[Jennifer]

Heading to the book store tomorrow.

[Buck]

I am planning on getting this book sometime later this week and I'll probably read it this weekend.

Looking forward to what this might become, cheers.

[Amelia]

Hoping to buy the book this weekend. All depends on the size of my paycheck.

[night faerie]

dont forget about your friendly neighborhood library! I plan to search the internet and find one soon.

[Amelia]

I know but I have this thing where I must own the book it must be mine and then kept and on a shelve and looked at when not reading it and then re read again and again and again.

[dark fuschia]

I bought it and by crikey it was expensive for such a wee little thing! This better be good james *grumbles* if its anything like that wanky khalil gibran (also known as kellogs allbran, and full of less substance if you ask me) then I will have alot to say about this book. Cos it looks suspiciously similar (ok... the guy at the bookshop got them mixed up when I asked about it and it put me on extreme wanker alert)

[dark fuschia]

Also I object to your arbitrary poll James. I think life is inherently meaningful and there is no box for me to tick, all meaninglessness is imposed by the process of OVERSIMPLIFICATION. An example of whichcould be a Kellogs Allbran book, or a question like "is life inherently meaningless?" hmm am I getting ahead of myself here?

*folds arms and refuses to answer highly meaningless James' poll*

[Amos]

Oh yeah. Well even the idea of meaning itself can be said to be meaningless. By me.

~dismisses wendy's data as non-quantifiable~

[Amelia]

I am shocked....shocked that you dismiss Wendy in such a fashion!

I will try to get the book this weekend.

[Apoc]

~giggles~ i was like..."yeah probably"...and then i found out i could select both...and thus did so...the end.

epilogue:
Cassander will not be reading The Alchemist as he has too much on his late at the moment ~nods~

[Amyrlin]

I bought it and by crikey it was expensive for such a wee little thing! This better be good james *grumbles* if its anything like that wanky khalil gibran (also known as kellogs allbran, and full of less substance if you ask me) then I will have alot to say about this book. Cos it looks suspiciously similar (ok... the guy at the bookshop got them mixed up when I asked about it and it put me on extreme wanker alert)

eheheh. i've read that but didn't buy...just borrowed.
hmmm... i can't remember much of it but i do remember that after reading it i wasn't too happy with it...kinda like i didn't get the substance i was expecting. anyways, i hope you'll like it better than i do wendy, and not be sorry you spent much on that tiny book.

[Buck]

I'm of the opposite mind Amyrlin. Part of me is hoping the book sucks just to see wendy flip out more. Does that make me a bad person? Probably.
