Thanks once again to everyone who came out for the discussion on Tuesday - cialis without prescription.Despite the general lukewarm response to the book cialis without prescription, I think it was one of the more enjoyable genre X discussions. And I think we all agree that the Snug at Molly Malone’s  is the best venue we’ve seen so far. Cialis without prescription: so we’ll stay there for a while and see how it goes.

April’s book is As Simple as Snow by Gregory Galloway.Here is a review from Publisher’s Weekly:

It turns out that snow is “actually very complicated,” and so is Galloway’s quirky, engrossing debut.In a small town near a river not far from a city, the narrator, an unnamed high school sophomore, encounters new Goth arrival, Anna Cayne - cialis without prescription.Holden Caulfield meets the Blair Witch, perhaps–but our narrator is more sympathetic and Anna more fascinating than their counterparts - cialis without prescription.The narrator is unsure why anyone would pursue him (”I’m bland; cialis without prescription.I’m milk; cialis without prescription.Worse, I’m water”), but pursue him Anna does, charming him with intriguing postcards, reading recommendations and long walks by the river; cialis without prescription. Cialis without prescription: he’s soon completely, hopelessly in love.But halfway through the story Anna disappears cialis without prescription, leaving the narrator and the reader feeling lost and betrayed.The book becomes a search for Anna, complete with ciphers, codes, sightings and buried maps - cialis without prescription.Does affable art teacher Mr - cialis without prescription.Devon have something to do with her disappearance? Who was really driving the night fellow student Bryce Druitt slammed his car into the side of the bridge? Galloway makes plain from the beginning that everything in the book might be a clue, and that it’s up to the narrator and the reader to solve the mystery for themselves.This can be great fun or lead to great frustration, depending on one’s tastes, but there’s no doubt that this rich, complex puzzle is the work of a talented author.

On Tuesday we spent a good chunk of time discussing the roles that music and musicians played in The Fortress of Solitude.Music is intregal to this month’s book as well.I won’t give too much away, but I highly recommend that you seek out the web site for the book, where readers can print out liner notes and track listings for the CDs that Anna makes for our narrator in As Simple as Snow.Just one of the many clues to unlocking the mystery in this incredibly captivating YA/adult crossover novel.Yeah if you can’t tell I’m pretty excited to discuss April’s title!

Hopefully Galloway will be able to generate some excitement in you as well! Please join us for our next discussion on Tuesday cialis without prescription, April 22 at 8 pm at Molly Malone’s (the Snug) in Forest Park.

I hope all of you are enjoying our March Genre X selection, The Fortress of Solitude by Jonathan Lethem.  Lethem uses comics and superheroes as a theme in Fortress, including mentions of the Marvel character Omega, a silent boy who discovers he has robotic parents in 1970s Hell’s Kitchen.

In a relatively unusual move by Marvel, Lethem was recently given the chance to re-imagine the obscure comic, Omega the Unknown.  The book, which is drawn by artist Farel Dalrymple and colored by Paul Hornschemeier is currently available for viewing online via this link from Publisher’s Weekly online.

In an odd intersection of surrealist writers and sports, baseball blog Yard Work reports that Haruki Murakami, author of genre X’s January selection The Wind Up Bird Chronicle recently attended a Cubs pre-season game in Arizona.

The author’s treatise on the experience is after the jump (beware- its long). Discount cialis online: in case you’re dismayed at the notion of Murakami writing a straightforward sports report, rest assured that notions of 4 a.m.pasta eating, girls with perfect ears, and fleeting mentions of Jeremy Piven abound.

First of all I want to thank everyone once again for braving the cold weather to come to last week’s discussion!

March’s book selection is The Fortress of Solitude by Jonathan Lethem.Here is a review from Publisher’s Weekly:

If there still remains any doubt, this novel confirms Lethem’s status as the poet of Brooklyn and of motherless boys - how do i order viagra online.Projected through the prism of race relations, black music and pop art, Lethem’s stunning, disturbing and authoritatively observed narrative covers three decades of turbulent events on Dean Street, Brooklyn - how do i order viagra online.When Abraham and Rachel Ebdus arrive there in the early 1970s, they are among the first whites to venture into a mainly black neighborhood that is just beginning to be called Boerum Hill - how do i order viagra online.Abraham is a painter who abandons his craft to construct tiny, virtually indistinguishable movie frames in which nothing happens; how do i order viagra online.Ex-hippie Rachel, a misguided liberal who will soon abandon her family, insists on sending their son, Dylan, to public school, where he stands out like a white flag.
