Well here we are. The bookclub meets the bookclub. This month we discuss the book featured as Juliet’s pick for the Other’s bookclub.

“All of the true things that I am about to tell you are shameless lies.” — Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle. [ALL PICTURES: CLICK FOR LARGER VIEW] First off, you should know Kurt Vonnegut NEVER gave that MIT commencement speech [“Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of 1997: Wear Sunscreen”] that floated all over the Internet.

Happy August WRLBers! This month’s book is Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. It’s another relatively short one! The reading schedule will be easy this time. We have a little over 200 pages (by my copy) spread through 10 chapters. That gives us roughly 2 and a half chapters a week. I don’t know why I’m [...]

If there has ever been a book to capture the raw emotion of what the survivors of Oceanic 815 went through during their time on the island, Lord of the Flies is that book. For those following along with the reading schedule, we are 3/4 of the way complete. In addition to @Badm0mbot’s episode listings, I [...]
HAPPY A-LITTLE-PAST-THE-MIDWAY-WELLLLLL-WE-MIGHT-AS-WELL-SAY-3/4-POINT Lord of the Flies is a much shorter book, so you should be around chapter 8ish, but with only 12 chapters you’ve still got time to catch up! Our book didn’t wash up on shore in any of the episodes, but a couple of times it was referenced in conversation. Thanks to Lostpedia [...]
