Hi, congrats to us all for a fabulous start. And a special thank you to Xihu for all her selfless efforts and thougtful guidance, leading us to a better road and a higher ground!
Read a Chinese couplet last night, and I think it is relevant:
鱼无水则鳞枯，人无书则神索
Now, back to the topic of our next meeting:
I am enjoying reading what Xihu recommended, Jane Austen Book Club. I hope to finish it by this coming Sunday so whoever is interested in a quick read can borrow it from Xihu. I will bring it with me when we see each other on Sunday.
Xihu had done a great introduction of this book, and I thought I could follow it up by relaying some of the stories (very contemporary) to you. So, a book club story to our book club members, for 15 min or 20 min.
Here's a link that might be of interest some of you.

Our story will start with: Nine lady friends, drawn by a mysterious force, with different views or doubts on reading, came together to talk about books.
Attention:
1.The meeting will start with "The Jane Austen Book Club -- 20 minutes.
2."The Old Man and the Sea" will be discussed too -- 20 minutes.
3.<40岁登上健康快车> will be discussed -- 20 minutes.
There are several copies of "The Old Man of the Sea" at B-Wells library in the call number range of PS3515.E53 O4 under the name of Hemingway, Ernest,1899-1961. There is also a movie of the same title in Kent Cooper Rm. that can be checked out.
The book, only about 100 pages long, is quick and easy read.
It is better to be familiar with it before the discussion

地图，地址，还有电话都登在Yoyo日历上了。Please make a quick note, for they will disappear soon.
Everthing is about movies:
1."Becoming Jane" is in still showing at ShowPlace 11. -- A fun introduction to Jane Austen, if you don't take everything in the movie too literally :-)
2."Jane Austen Book Club" will be out this month.-- With high anticipation.
3. 雪 and I have made special efforts viewing and reviewing Jane Austen's movie adaptaions. I have to say they are timeless.
It is high time to consider who will be speakers at our 3rd meeting. 紫罗兰，and Yoyo2?
Nice reminder and postings. Thank you, organizers and hostess!
Look forward to the gaterhing. Speaking of movie, perhaps a movie night for the interested members?
Movie night, an interesting idea! Just wonder how many are for it?
A lot of us have read THE BOOk, Jane Austen Book Club so far. I'm very excited about tonight's meeting and will be all years for the discussions.
