Bookclubbing
For the bookclubbers out there there are several NYRB-themed bookclubs you can partake in, either on your computer or in person:
It’s Elizabeth Taylor’s Centenary in 2012 and this month (July) the English blog Musings is reading Angel. The most recent post is here.
We have our own Goodreads book club and the poll is now up for what to read over the rest of July and August. J.L. Carr’s A Month in the Country is winning at the moment, but there is still time to change that (till Monday).
And, for New Yorkers, WORD Bookstore has been doing a British NYRB Classics book club all year long for their Classics Book Club every second Saturday of the month at 12 am. We started Patrick Hamilton’s Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky this past weekend and will finish it on August 11th. Come by!
And in San Francisco Dog Eared Books has the BYONYRB Book Club hosted by Peter Orner. I can’t tell what their current pick is but if you live in the area go by and ask.
