Book Club is Back!

Hello again everyone~
It seems like it has been a long time since we last connected regarding book club, too long in fact. The wait is over though and it sounds like we may have some new blood joining us in our futile yet fun quest to read all the books worthy of our attention. The details:

When: Friday, September 24
Time: 4:00 p.m.
Where: Cynthia Herrera's home
Batallon Libres de Trujillo 237, Santa Teresa, Surco

Directions:

This is literally behind Chacarilla and close to the Franco Peruano school.

It’s parallel to the Panamericana Sur Highway, if you’re on the highway, you get off on Reynaldo Vivanco and drive down 2 blocks to Batallón Tarma. Make a left hand turn and follow the curve down past a small park and turn left on the first corner. That’s Batallón Trujillo.

If it’s easier, you can go down Velasco Astete to Caminos del Inca and turn left at Don Mamino and the traffic lights, drive one block and turn left at the next set of traffic lights. The first block says Ayacucho, but it turns into Batallón Trujillo after that first short block.

And Finally, the Why: We're be discussing Dave Eggers' epic novel What is the What. If you are eager to read more about the author or the subject of the book, here are some links that may interest you (thanks to Randa Breuer for sending the first link my way):
