Welcome Back to Book Club By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

reetings, everyone!
I know I said hosting book club would have to wait for our local case numbers to drop and vaccination rates to go up, but now that Scott and I have become desensitized to seeing daily national death tolls in the thousands, we figure we’re ready to put out some baked brie and see our favorite people. And with everyone vaccinated and healthy, it should be fine. So let’s get our calendars out! Reply — not reply all, ha ha! —with your preferred Saturday next month and a nomination for our next book. Can’t wait to see you all in person!

Hello again! OK, thanks for responding so quickly, friends! I’m hearing not everyone has gotten their shot(s). So I guess I’ll ask the group how we feel about those who’ve chosen not to vaccinate masking or Zoom-ing in? So far, it looks like the second Saturday is in the lead. Ted, thanks for the timely suggestion but maybe DeFoe’s A Journal of the Plague Year isn’t

And while I sympathize with those of you who feel discriminated against, please refrain from comparing missing out on Scott’s mulled wine with being sent to a Nazi death camp. I would have thought the chapter of Eli Wiesel’s Night most of us skimmed through before tapping out would have taught us all better. (And for the record, Naomi, when you pitched a “historical” book you made it sound way more Outlander, but whatever.) Anyway, since there’s still time, perhaps those who’d like to attend could get vaccinated this month? Friends, Let’s all take a deep breath and try to remain respectful and also not hit reply all. These are unprecedented times and I’m sure that under different circumstances, Naomi would not have responded to
