Hey there, it took me longer than necessary to get back. I was absolutely swamped with labs and tests at my Uni and then of course had to fall sick over the weekend. After another lab and test tomorrow, I think I'd have enough time to start our book. I've added the book to the bookclub, and added forums for both 'The Sound and The Fury' and 'A Clockwork Orange' (I'm done reading it, we could discuss it if you'd like)
The Room Where It Happened: DNF at 10%

I like book clubs. I have enrolled as a member of yours. I would like to read *The Room Where It Happened* with you.

Thank you for joining. I added the buddy read, and a meeting, tenatively scheduled for next Friday for now. We can discuss later, depending on the progress we are making with the book.

Hey, I've updated the DNF status and the 'review' for the book. How did you find the book so far?

I felt some of the things that you did. The author of this book is thoroughly indoctrinated in a system of beliefs that is, in my opinion, toxic.

Have you ever read *The Sound and The Fury* by William Faulkner? It is on my desk. I am yet to start it. It is a celebrated masterpiece of American Literature.

I haven't read anything from Faulkner yet. I am currently reading The Fifth Season by N.K.Jemisin. Are you pushing through *The Room Where It Happened*? If not we could read *The Sound and The Fury* next, I'd probably be done with my current read in a few days.

I will continue with *The Room Where It Happened* until you have completed *The Fifth Season*. ☺

I love your about me page; imaging individuals as colors is a good metaphor. It has the same feeling as the lyrics from "An Ocean of Strange Islands"

Thank you for the comment! I didn't know of the song you mention before, and while metal isn't a genre I enjoy, the lyrics of the song are very beautiful and evocative.

I am so glad I found your website. Absoultuely love your 'Memory is identity,sister', you write beautifully.
I was very unhappy with the review of Mother Mary Comes to Me that I wrote two days ago, so I redid it. I hope I was able to convey even a fraction of the spirit of Arundhati Roy.
Hey! I'm glad for your recovery, hooray. I got busy at school too. I read other stuff that interested me more than John Bolton's prose: I've got ¼ of *Missing Soluch* left to read. I'll write a conversation starter on *A Clockwork Orange* into the forum. Maybe you'll like it, or maybe you'll have other ideas that you want to discuss. ☺
Okay, our conversation starter on ACO is written. Next, I will keep an eye out for your response. I will start 'The Sound and The Fury'. I will read ⅕ of it this week. I can try for more, but I can guarantee ⅕.
