Reading Lolita in Tehran



Our next book is Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi. Deanna & I are going to pick up books for you while we're in Anc. next weekend. Everyone requested a copy, I think.

For now, let's say we'll meet on
28 April
Carey's house
at 6:30

Eat, Pray, Love... by Elizabeth Gilbert


This is the next book we chose to read. We're all ready for something refreshing!

Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia

The meeting will be at my house on April 7th at 6:30, provided everyone has the book by then.
