Inaugural email

Hello and Welcome,

I am emailing Y'all as the first act in the conception of a book reading club. Feel free to forward this to anyone who you trust.

Let me first start by explaining and presenting the mission of this group: There are so many good books, and so many good people. As the people we know and love spread across the country and the world our correspondence will inevitably diminish; book reading is not a competition nor exposition but rather a method of communication. By reading what others are reading we will better connect with ourselves and each other. By connecting we will quickly and efficiently reach a higher state of consciousness.

That's it. That's all, nothing special. So here is how it will work, every month one of our diverse and unique members will choose and book. I will post it on the website and then we should all read it. There won't be any formal discussion, however you must talk to at least one person in the book-reading club and talk about the book (maybe a different person each month?). Anyway, my good friend Brett Allin will choose the first book. The club will officially start when I post his book on the website, which should be by the 15th of January. Please, send me any ideas you have or books you want to read and we will poll them on the website.

Hope everyone had a great new year and all that, and send me any emails of people you have forwarded this to then I can send them bulk emails.
Oh, and the website is funkyreadingclub.blogspot.com

Thats... http://funkyreadingclub.blogspot.com


Thanks, love, and all the rest...
