Announcement: New Books

Hey gang.  I know that during our last meeting, I let you look through several choices and pick which ones you would like to read.  I wanted to give you the power to choose, and to really know that you guys are an integral part of this club.  I lead the discussions, but your opinions matter.

Unfortunately, due to funding issues and the question of repurposing our comics after the discussions, we have had to order different books than the ones you chose.  When I began this club, I fully intended for teenagers to attend as well as adults.  Things didn't work out that way, which is why the books I gave you to choose from this round were a bit more adult.  However, it has been decided that once we are done discussing our books, they will then be used for high school discussions.  This means no sex, nudity, or over the top violence, no matter how good the writing or message.  We all know how easy it is to upset even just one parent who could cause an uproar.  Also, due to the cost of printing comics, ordering so many at a timje, and the fact that almost 10 of our books have not been returned over the course of this year, I have been asked not to order books that cost (with our discount) over $12.00.

All of this together meant that I needed to completely re-pick our books.  I'm sorry.

But! The books I did get are also awesome.  Never fear faithful readers, you are in good hands.  Right now we have only order 4 books, as an experimental stage until we figure out where we are going to get our permanent funding.  So, in 4 month's time, we may be able to have more options.  Either way, the books are great, so no worries :)

So, without further ado, here are our first four books for the new year!:
