On the Road by Jack Kerouac
Amazon.com
On The Road, the most famous of Jack Kerouac's works, is not only the soul of the Beat movement and literature, but one of the most important novels of the century. Like nearly all of Kerouac's writing, On The Road is thinly fictionalized autobiography, filled with a cast made of Kerouac's real life friends, lovers, and fellow travelers. Narrated by Sal Paradise, one of Kerouac's alter-egos, On the Road is a cross-country bohemian odyssey that not only influenced writing in the years since its 1957 publication but penetrated into the deepest levels of American thought and culture. --This text refers to the Paperback edition

I've always wanted to read this book. I'll join you for this book.
Great, looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it when we meet.
OMG! Sheldon's gonna read a book that has nothing to do with technology?!!!! 
We've had a little backroom e-mail conversation between the people who've already RSVPed for the book club meeting, and it looks like we're moving it to Wednesday, August 1. I haven't received absolute confirmation from everyone yet on that, but I'll change it anyway now so it doesn't go out in the newsletter this week. Tammy, Larry, and Miki - if I've jumped the gun, give me a shout and I'll change the date to what it should be.
Thank for being flexible, gang! It's much appreciated!!

Mary,
August 1st is perfectly fine for Larry and I. We both finished the book in early July, so we're ready to go. And hopefully, August 1st gives you, Sheldon and Tammy time to finish it.

Aug. 1 doesn't work for me. How about the following Thursday, Aug. 9?
August 9th it is!!! I've edited the event listing to reflect that.
You're going to hate me, but I can't make August 9. I forgot that I have plans with family that day and night (relatives from out of town). If this is becoming too much of a scheduling nightmare, go ahead and meet without me.
No, no, no. I'm sure we can work this out. It's comic, but I'm sure we can work it out. This is the book you chose, after all!!!
How about Friday the 10th or Thursday the 16th?

Hey, let's get a date down for this. Will it work for everyone if we move this a week out to the following Thursday the 16th?
Thursday the 16th would be great. Let's do it.
I'm game! Count me in!
Larry and Miki?
Larry and Miki?
Sorry about the delay in getting back to you all. I just got back from Rhode Island last night, and Larry had to make two trips to the emergency room for a recurrence of his pancreatitis, so this is the first I've had to look at e-mail. Long story short, the 16th would probably be better because I'm not sure how Larry will be feeling on the 9th. So we'll be there on the 16th.
