Not working

Fascinating/terrifying:

Loving the book.

Quick Note

First of all, I couldn't find Working at Barnes & Nobles. Annoying considering I have little free time these days and I hate ordering things online.

Second, I'm not curating and not sure if I will be able to continue to participate, but you all should consider reading (if you haven't read it already) David Foster Wallace's "Big Red Son" from Consider the Lobster. Working, fucking, etc.

Details for next meeting

I just wanted to note that we've confirmed Monday 1/25 as our next date for the circle. Let's do 8pm again, unless someone suggests otherwise. It's unfortunate but understandable that Sian can't curate a reading for February. Is there anyone that would like to step in with a 10-20 page essay/reading? Something that feels like an interesting offshoot of Studs Terkel.

Working is dense but rewarding. Unlike Debord, I'm sure the library carries it.

Sincere Apologies

Hi all,

I'm feeling really overwhelmed with school starting, etc and really don't think I will have time to come up with a reading for the curated month. I hope to make it on the 25th, but it's not looking particularly promising at this point. Happy New Year everyone!!

Best,
Sian
