Greetings friends!
In brief:
New Meander starts August 16th!
Which is to say:
Following fast on the heels of the internationally acclaimed White Noise and Blind Assassin Meanders, Vortex Industries is thrilled to announce the imminent arrival of The Midnight’s Children Meander, in which a hardy crew of folks like you will embark on a 9-week group-read of Salman Rushdie’s mega-ultra-Booker-Prize-winning neo-classic: Midnight’s Children.
A book I was really supposed to read in college and totally dropped the ball on.
Cecil (you say), I’m so excited, I’m reading too quickly and skipped over that first part. Can you remind me when this all starts?
Gladly!
The MCM kicks off Sunday August 16th!
OK. But Cecil (you ask), how can I fill the time til then?
Well, you could buy the book for one. And you could shout out on this here thread to let fellow Meanderers know you’re getting laced up for the trail. Also, I just started The Umbrella Academy, and it seems promising.
Lastly, Cecil (you inquire), would you mind spelling out how this works for new folks?
Delighted!
- Every Sunday (starting August 16th) you’ll find a new post on this here site, with the week’s target — typically 50-60 pages-ish.
- Read that section.
- When you’re done, post a comment on that week’s blog post.
- Finish the book.
- Get an exciting prize! (and you can double-bet it’ll be magnetized)
Rushdie is certainly beloved by some and less beloved by others, which is bound to make for a jaunty thread. This Meander for me is decades in the making, and I kinda can’t wait to get started. But wait I will….
Questions? Give a holler! Hope to have you join our merry band.
Until then, stay kind, and remember: “Meandering is just like dancing except without rhythm or music or things like that.”™
