Sugar nerd would make a great name for a band!

-D

P.S. – And I think Salil’s point was that Kahani is a book club of sorts…it’s for, um, foetal books.

Yeah I live way across the country, so no real life Sepia Book Club for me.

A group chat on AIM or whatever would be one way I'd be fine with. Another would be a moderated message board Television Without Pity-style. It would take some amount of effort to maintain, though.

Hell, I'll even give y'all a name for it: Sepia Com-Mutiny.

Get it? Har har.

Er, that is, it's the name of an entire range of carbohydrates.

And if you start me talking about "glucose-equivalency" or chirality, bleepin' kill my geek ass now.

What, no hard-sell for Kahani, AJP? For SHAME!

We gots a book club here. But even better.

And maltodextrin is NOT copyrighted; that's its chemical name.

When is this site gonna start a book club?

and pray tell fairest fellow robbins-fan, how would that work? we announce we’re reading something, set a generous deadline for when we are going to post on it, you ready your thoughts for the comment-fracas?

if you’re in DC, this might be easier, since that’s where i’m at…then again, i love conducting meetings via AIM, as my poor peers will testify.

Well if I could just find a matrimonial that extols the virtues of being a Tom Robbins fanatic, then I'd be "arranging" it myself.

But alas, indiamatrimonials.com has no Favorite Novelist Who Is Not Ray Bradbury search filter.
