February 2017: Spartina


Your book club is failing. Bigly. My friend here, Vladimir Vladimirovich, which is the Bible translation of John Johnson, which is way more American than any of your names, is a better fisherman by far, way better, than Dick Pierce, and even his spartina is bigger than Little Miss Buttlick's in her wildest dreams. Get on the good boat, the best boat, while you can, my friends. There's a storm coming, believe me.

ALERT!!!
Fake news from a phony bogus person!

Damn you Putin and Russian Hackers. Leave us lowly Americans alone. Let us ready our books and stay away!

October 2015: Join us at Peter H's for "Ready Player One"

October 2015: Join us at Peter H's for "Ready Player One" Ready Player One takes place in the not-so-distant future--the world has turned into a very bleak place, but luckily there is OASIS, a virtual reality world that is a vast online utopia. People can plug into OASIS to play, go to school, earn money, and even meet other people (or at least they can meet their avatars), and for protagonist Wade Watts it certainly beats passing the time in his grim, poverty-stricken real life. Along with millions of other world-wide citizens, Wade dreams of finding three keys left behind by James Halliday, the now-deceased creator of OASIS and the richest man to have ever lived. The keys are rumored to be hidden inside OASIS, and whoever finds them will inherit Halliday’s fortune. But Halliday has not made it easy. And there are real dangers in this virtual world.
