You

Hello, everybody. It's been a long time since we've seen each other or heard from each

other, where one broadcast just concluded no more than five minutes ago. But I'm happy to

be here live, almost exclusively on quite frankly.tv, but also on Delive, just to make sure

that there is one other place out there. But here we are. We're here. I see people are

filing into the chat room. I see Judy 0309, Moira in New York City. Josh, what's going

on? Josh, we have some studio, some network hands and specialists are here. What's going

on Ross. Sharon, hello, everyone. Welcome to Book Club. And of course, it's creepy music.

What I'm going to do is I'm going to get Book Club intros made, something that's a little

bit more across the board, cozy, like you're in a, I don't know, like a cafe, coffee, these

wonderful, the, you can, we're something, some kind of an intro where you can actually

smell the old nuttiness of the pages of all the books. You know that, that, that nutty smell?

Oh, wonderful, wonderful. We have to do that because it's not always going to be a creepy book.

Something that blows your mother, maybe, you know, I have, I have books like Shutter Island

that I have not read. And that's not nearly as long as this. And Shutter Island, the book is,

is pretty classic at this point. We can do books like that. And that would tell us a lot about the,

the times we live in and the, and the people that are in the world, right? No, all right.

But as for tonight, we are covering chapters 30 to the end of chapter 33. So it's pages 321 to

pages 375. And, and I ask you all, I have the thread here. You still have time to go and put

some stuff in there. What do you have? What, what really struck you? That's what I want to know

from the people in the audience. And there's not nearly as, as many, as many entries into the thread

this week, which makes me hope that it's not that people are just getting all tuckered out.
