Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
10/31: book club dinner
Chris and I recently decided to have our own book-club-of-two. We both read Pearl S. Buck's Pavilion of Women, and tonight we went out for dinner and had our book club discussion. We both admired certain things about the book while questioning others, and our conversation about it was fun and interesting and good. Chris chose this book, so I chose the next one. I'm not sure what to pick, but I'll be glad if we keep our own club going.
The simplest thing: carving a jack-o-lantern! We usually get at least 200 trick or treaters and they should be ringing the doorbell soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope you trick-or-treating goes/went well, Barbara! We moved outside of the city a few years ago, and so we get no trick-or-treaters now, which makes especially Chris a little sad.
ReplyDelete...I love Pearl S. Buck!
ReplyDeleteOh, Meri, I just saw your comment. How great that you love Pearl S. Buck's works! Chris has ordered some more of her books, and we're both going to keep reading them....
