Tinychat in one hour!
Tinychat today at 4 pm EST
We’ll be discussing last week’s chapters.
The tinychat will, like always, be here.
Hope you guys can make it!
CURSE YOU, QUEUE
I had queued a post about how there was no reading for this week, and how Saturday’s Tinychat would be to discuss last week’s chapters, BUT IT NEVER PUBLISHED.
D:
I am so, so sorry, guys. I hate the queue. It is my new enemy.
But, like I said, there’s no reading this week. Tomorrow’s Tinychat will be at 4 pm EST like always, and we’ll be discussing last...

Alright guys, sorry I haven’t been a very good book club runner person lately.
ANYWAYS
For this week, we’ll be reading the next five chapters. That’ll bring us up to Eighty-Four Days Before.

Due to some family emergencies, I won’t be able to have the tinychat today. So, so, SO sorry, guys. I know I suck.
But we’ll have it tomorrow at 4 pm EST, so hopefully you’ll all be able to make it then.
Again, I apologize.

Hey guys, I made a mistake
I said that reading the next four chapters would bring us up to Ninety-Nine Days Before, when really it brings us up to One Hundred Days Before. I am so sorry! If you read the extra chapter, that’s fine, but if you are going to be participating in tomorrow’s tinychat try to not talk about it since there will be people who haven’t read it.
Sorry if this caused any confusion. I...
Just a little reminder to keep reading!
We asked that you read the next four chapters, which will bring us up to Ninety-Nine Days Before.
The tinychat will be at the same time, same place this Saturday. (http://tinychat.com/book-club at 4 pm EST)
Hope you can all make it!

Post-Meeting Minutes:
No one wants to try the Colonel’s Ambrosia
Even though Alaska said earlier that the Colonel and Pudge smoke to enjoy it, it really seems that they use cigarettes more as a coping mechanism
Alaska seems to be at the moment the most interesting puzzle in Pudge’s life, even though there’s a lot of other things going on around him
Maybe the Colonel stays with Sara because change...

Me: First, I have to ask... Would you drink the Colonel's Ambrosia?
seabring: As much much as I like vodka, I would rather die

“It’s easy to keep things the same in that way. Change is scary, and so is...”
– seabring (in the tinychat) on why the Colonel stays with Sara
“Maybe he just doesn’t want to be alone so he stays with someone he...”
– Troy (in the tinychat) on why the Colonel stays with Sara
“It seems like Alaska’s this big mystery, even though on the outside, it...”

In a very official and scholarly manner I now present to you the intricacies and plans for tomorrow’s meeting.
For those of you unfamiliar with tinychat - it’s essentially an online chatroom service. As far as I know there isn’t a limit to how many people that can be in one tinychat at a time (the most i’ve been with was about 13). It resembles instant messaging services like MSN or...

Post meeting minutes:
Alaska herself seems to be the embodiment of all that Miles sets out to look for
She is the personification of the Great Perhaps
Her character is so different from Miles that he is sort of starstruck by her
Their differences complement each other rather than clash together
There is a parallel between Alaska and the labyrinth — her personality is so complex that one could get lost or...

idoitbrilliantly asked: Will you have a group chat about the first two chapters tomorrow? If you do, I can't take part, unfortunately, because I'll have to attend a wedding which takes place in another town so I won't be home all day.
