Illiterati: Gen X Book
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Illiterati: Gen X Book Club will meet at FUSION on Sunday, November 9, from 11 AM–1 PM. The November discussion will be on The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.
Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel’s story is about to be completely rewritten.
“I fell in love with him the same way you fall asleep. Slowly, then all at once.”
The Fault in Our Stars debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and was chosen as TIME Magazine’s #1 Fiction Book of 2012. The movie adaptation of The Fault in Our Stars was released in Summer 2014 starring Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, and Nat Wolff, and directed by Josh Boone.
We are a media-positive book group. Audiobookers are welcome too. Prepare yourself for lively, non-disrespectful discussion. BYO snacks and drinks!
This book club is FREE and open to the public!
All are welcome. The club will be discussing books related to Generation X. You're welcome to BYO snacks and drinks. Later in the season Novel Point Coffee will also be open next door. Look in the photos section on Meetup.com for the current reading list. If you have reading suggestions please send them to genxbookclub@gmail.com, and keep in mind:
Authors should be born between 1960 and 1980. Outliers will want good reasons to be included. Any books over 400 pages may be discussed over multiple months.
Folks are welcome to attend even if they haven't finished the book, and audio versions are fair game.
Gen X Book Club is looking for discussion above agreement, but being mean will not be tolerated. Disagreement can be lovely as long as it remains respectful.
ABOUT ILLITERATI: GEN X BOOK CLUB
“Things are weird. The adults are all gone. We've been left to fend for ourselves by the light of an empty fridge.
Gen X was made for this. We got ourselves to the mall food court, looking for each other without appearing to care. Let's read Gen X literature. Let's discuss it as if it's real. As our ultimate rebellious act in a dying world we'll make it so.
Now that we've found a couple of interested slackers we'll crack open Eggers, Wurtzel, Safran Foer. Hewlett & Martin. If all goes well and follows in reasonable order we'll start with early Gen X authors and move to the later. Maybe rinse occasionally with something hopeish from outside the timeline, like Allie Brosh.
But when does it all go well and follow in reasonable order?”
