Books and Burns

Thanks to everyone who came out to the first book club meeting at Barnsdall Art Park today. I thought it was a great success! We all brought yummy things to munch on, brought up some interesting points/themes/concepts/likes/dislikes about Kafka on the Shore, playing with Crystals dog, Murphy, and met some new people! I got a bit of sunburn (my bad for not bringing sunscreen. I think I was more concerned with keeping the new tattoo out of the sun as much as possible but alas. Irresponsible me.)

Our next book was chosen but Erica and will be Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book. He also happens to be the same author of Coraline (you may be familiar with the movie that came out). Coincidentally, one of the girls who came to the book club meeting, Shannon, happens to be at a 3D production company (and with one of the head 3D'ers on Coraline) so it was great to hear the basic ins and outs about the medium/technology.


Since the story takes place at a graveyard we thought it would be fun to meet at the Hollywood Forever's Cinespia screenings! For those interested we will most likely meet on June 6th or 13th. I shall let you know the deets.

For more information on Cinespia screenings visit http://www.cinespia.org
We will most likely discuss the book whilst in line to get into the cemetery and before the movie starts. This has been an annual summer tradition for me (tons of readers in line so I am excited for this year's readers and movies). If you have yet to partake in the wonder that is cemetery screenings @ Hollywood Forever then you are in for a treat!
