Book #1

Book #1: No one belongs here more than you, by Miranda July



Here's the link to the amazon page where you can purchase the book. I hear it's also available at libraries, and of course, book stores.

This is the website for the book. It's actually one of the cooler websites for a book or product that I've come across.

This is Miranda July's website. Also worth peaking at.

Briefly, here's why I chose this book to get the club going:
1) I've wanted to read it for a while and haven't yet (I'm kinda going on the assumption that we should choose books we haven't read, but I am also open to people wanting to share really good books they've read in the past).
2)It's a collection of short stories. I've read one of the stories. It was easy to read and interesting. It's not a huge daunting book, and it seemed like a good idea to start off with something that isn't too much of a project, that we can all get through. Yay us!
3) Miranda July is polarizing. People either love her or hate her. She's known for her performance art, for her work with Harrell Fletcher doing an on-line art project called Learning to Love you more (check it out!), and for her film Me and you and everyone we know, which she stared in, wrote, and directed, and was a Sundance darling. From my experience with her and her work, July is a conversation starter. Love or hater her, we'll have something to talk (write) about.

We can start posting discussions anytime...
I'll officially post some questions and thoughts and whatnot in about 3 weeks time.

Enjoy.
