Book Club
I'm in a really cool book club. Like REALLY COOL. And from time to time, I'd like to post some of our silly book club moments as well as the books we're reading and (possibly) discussion questions. Don't wanna post monthly, because I'll get behind myself for sure, but every once in a while I'll add a new book to the queue!
First up is The Flamethrowers by Rachel Kushner. Not one of my all-time favorites, but an interesting look at young artists and moto culture in the 1970's. I felt like it was a story about my mom in a way, and all the other ladies who were a part of the women's movement and who were newly independent in the 70's. The dive bars, the art, the European adventures and political protests. All in all, a good read, if a little random and haphazard at times. I rate a solid B.
For our book club, we met at El's apartment and Andriana brought tasty Italian-themed snacks. We also have ample booze at these meetings, hence the wide variety of glassware.
If you're feeling ambitious or have already read The Flamethrowers, feel free to leave comments below!
