Virtual Book Club
So Dave and I talked a bit about starting a sort of book club, for all the usual reasons. It would be a virtual book club, because we can't stand each other's company. Also we're in different cities.
Of course, it won't be any fun if Tarun doesn't join. Also you! You can join by e-mailing me, if you know my address, or just leaving a comment or whatever. But actually you can join without doing anything at all. Once I come up with a name, I'll start a new blog devoted entirely to the club, and you can read along there.
Which brings me to the crucial issue of naming our club (even the term "club" sounds off-putting). Suggestions are welcome. Right now I'm thinking along the lines of the Tarun Menon Society.
Finally, who will decide what we read and the format for discussion? That's easy. Dave and I will make all decisions and all authority will rest with us. That's how you run a society and/or book club.
So yeah, let me know if you're interested and what the name should be.

Oh all powerful book club leader, could you please perhaps share with us what the general topics or themes of the books to be read will be? For example, if they are all about economics or monetary policy or law or legal philosophy, I'll probably just skip the book club in favor of checking my bank balance online while watching Law & Order. But, if they are about other subjects, I might possibly consider joining. Matthew
You're right about "Club", but "Clubbe" might be acceptable. "Tarun Menon Society" is pretty good, though, especially because the natural ambiguity is so deliciously exploitable. Our name? The Tarun Menon Society! Our goal? Creation, at long last, of a true Tarun Menon society.
