"You'll learn a lot at our book club...like how to read between the wines."

"Wallace couldn't come, but I brought some of his fussy prose."

"You can't judge a book by it's content."

The World's Biggest Book Club

O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art though, Romeo? Seriously, wherefore art thou? Shakespeare in the Dark.

Everyone have enough to eat and drink? We can start the discussion! I'll have a drop of wine. Do you have another cookie? I could do one more cheese puff. Got it. No one's read the book. I googled lost of reviews!

I never finished our book. Me neither. I was reading another one. Me too. Totally addictive. Then let's choose that one for next month. Great. Facebook works for me! It's bookmarked!

Shakespeare. Hamlet. Romeo and Juliet. "To be or not to be, that is the question". "We are such stuff …As dreams are made of …" "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other word would small as sweet." That Shakespeare guy had some neat sound bites.

'Read any good Apps lately?'

Well, I finished my summer reading list – now what?

"Is this fiction, non-fiction or historical fiction?"

Fyodor Dostoevsky
