Alright guys. Truth time. I know we had some crazy shit go down the past month or so but did anyone who asked about the book club thing actually read the book? How many of you ended up using it as a fancy coaster or a desk decoration? Don't worry about it if you didn't, I mean it's not like you're gonna be graded on or anything. I'm just curious. If anyone actually read it and wants to talk about it I'll be chilling out in the library.

Oh, [She laughs, her voice light as she teases] and to save any potential embarrassment in case you forgot - the book was Ego and Enmity and the Undead

((ooc: Open over the journal or in person. True to her word, she'll be in the library most of the day curled up in an arm chair reading Jules Verne. What? It's not so bad when it's not being forced down her throat by a dictatorial English teacher))

[she doesn't exactly read books for fun but...]

Ego and Enmity and the Undead?

[now that sounds interesting] Is it a parody or something?

[eat_me_beat_me]

Yeah. Some guy took Ego and Enmity and added zombies and shit to it. It's pretty fantastic.

[sexyhitchhiker]

[there's a stifled snort of laughter]

Now I'm imagining prim and proper ladies drinking tea and talking about the weather and beating zombies on the head with umbrellas.

[Sup Nora, there's a dragon going to come and clamber over the back of the arm chair to peer at that book]

What're you reading?

[eat_me_beat_me]

[Whoa, dragon what? She looks a little surprised at first but she smiles.]

It's by Jules Verne. This one's called Circling the Planet in Two and a Half Months.

[huffythedragon]

[He tilts his head at that]

Gosh, it can't be that big of a planet if you can circle it in two months.

I wasn't aware we had a book club. Is it open for new members?

dictated;

[eat_me_beat_me]

Yeah it's nothing really official. I suggested it a few months ago and gave the book to a bunch of people. That's... About as far as we got, honestly.

[ironlady]

What book do you intend to read next?

[unnaturalpause]

[Hi Norra, James is just going to peer casually at that book of yours as he comes closer.]

Nice gentleman, Verne, was a little too excited to see Abnormals though.

Wait. You're telling me you've met him?

[sixguns]

Cannae say I remember yer book, and t'be honest, I've never heard of it. I'll give it a look if ye can point me toward a copy.

[Noah + undead = ???]

[Dictacted]

[eat_me_beat_me]

The library has it, or I could have the ghosts bring you a copy if you want. I hadn't heard of it, either, until a few months ago. It comes out years in my future...

[modernholmes]

There's a book club here? What was the book about?

[eat_me_beat_me]

Kind of? I gave the book to a bunch of people a few months ago. A lot of stuff's happened so I think everyone forgot about it.

The book? Someone took some stuffy classic book and added zombies to it.

[fishy_go_byebye]

...Book...?

[Clubs what?]

I just wanted to make it into a star.

[eat_me_beat_me]

[She grins.] What color would you make it?

It's not really an official thing, yet. I mentioned it a few months ago and gave people the book. A lot of shit happened and I think people forgot about it...

[cricketycricket]

You know, Nora, I have a copy of that in the TARDIS library. I was wondering how on Earth it got there ... I suppose I must have read it before I left. Might I still join you, even though I don't remember it? I know the original well enough.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Absolutely! Yeah, I gave you a copy when I first brought it up to everyone a few months ago. You should totally still read it, it's hilarious.

[wizard_redfive]

I read it. [Said matter of factly.]

[eat_me_beat_me]

Yeah? What did you think?

[delincuente]

[Alex doesn't give a flying fuck about books, but she's decided the library looks like a good place to rollerskate. She overhears Nora, and skates over in her direction. She has an iced mocha in one hand.]

Book club? You sound like my brother.

woot!

[eat_me_beat_me]

Hey, you got another one of those? [She grins.] don't knock it, especially when it's about proper Victorian ladies killing zombies.
