More beginnings

And here's Dan's post on Young from April with my comment:

The truth about the opium lady!

I need to figure out when exactly I first tried to read MMMD and why. I think it had something to do with William Goyen (The House of Breath is a favorite book). Post TK.

Beginnings

I tracked down the comment thread which explains how this started.

I really feel like a good use of my summer would be reading that - kind of embarrassing how long it's sat on my shelf.

 Ed Park said...

Agreed...Let's organize a MMMD book club. (It will be the least popular club ever devised.)

I still have a hideous 2-volume 80s paperback in a slipcase (now that I say that I bet it's by someone famous). Can a book club have just three people?

1:25 PM

 Ed Park said...

Yes! Three. This would actually be the best book club in the history of book clubs. I'm going to nominate Levi Stahl (though he doesn't know it yet), and Damion Searls expressed interest...

Anyone else?

Let's take it one page at a time (I'm kind of serious)...

 Will said...

Poor Levi.

Ok, I'm in. I love the one-page-at-a-time method. What do you think, group blog or group tumblr for discussion?

1:49 PM

 Levi Stahl said...

I'm in. I have pretty much no idea what I'm in for, but it's not like Ed's ever led me astray (for 1100 pages) before, right?
