Hi all,

Thanks for a good discussion today. Here's what we decided:
  • discuss Cloud Atlas at the December meeting
  • read Perks of Being a Wallflower over Christmas
  • add a meeting in early January, 2013, to discus Wallflower. I would suggest the Monday we get back since the seminar room is already booked for Grad Photos 10, 11 & 14.
Let me know watcha think of the plan.

Kudos and thanks to Celise for cleaning up after the meeting.

To Think About: 1. In the beginning of A Magic Steeped in Poison , we learn “the true wielders of Shénnóng magic have their unique specialties. Some brew teas for emotions – compassion, hope, love.
