AboutOprah can go suck moose in Alaska.
This is a book club for women with brains and brawn, who chew up Austen and spit out Nin. We eat beatniks for breakfast. We leap Russian epics in a single bound. Faster than a speeding simile! It's a bird! It's a plane!
No. It's a book. Try one sometime.
We read. A lot. Try to keep up.
WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING NEW MEMBERS.
