        <description><![CDATA[Sorry for the delay, everyone!  Home computer is getting emergency care, and I'll probably have home access again this weekend.<br />
<br />
This month's book is &quot;Franny &amp; Zooey&quot;, by JD Salinger.  I'm not sure how to describe it, without giving anything away.  It's partly about a turning point. <a href="https://lynnadavidson.com/2013/09/24/its-banned-books-week-heres-a-list-of-100-banned-books/" rel="nofollow"> FZ was also banned, in the past (Polilla Writes).</a>  It's #54 on that particular list.  IMHO:  if the banners had really read it, they might not have banned it.<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
Tentative start date is <b><i>Monday, May 20th</i></b>.  Please let me know if that's not going to work for you. <b> AFTER I POST THE OFFICIAL START ON THE 20TH</b>, you can pop in any time, for as long as the thread is open--which it will probably be for some time.  I will also post potential discussion questions on the 20th, just to get things started.<br />
<br />
<b>PLEASE DON'T POST ANY DETAILS, HINTS, OR SPOILERS BEFORE THE OFFICIAL START!  THEY COULD RUIN THE BOOK FOR OTHER PEOPLE.</b>  Please be cautious, <i>even if **you** think it's not a spoiler.</i>  Many people like to discover a story on their own.<br />
<br />
When you get a chance, please post here if you're interested in participating.  That's not required; but it helps me get an idea of the group.<br />
<br />
Happy reading!   <img src="http://forums.shipoffools.com/resources/emoji/smile.png" title=":)" alt=":)" height="20" /><br />
