Book Clubs are Cozy: Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

by Leslie Patson | 20th January 2012

Last night the Bad Boy and Girls book club finally got it together and met to discuss Never Let Meg Go by Kashuo Ishiguru. With Miriam working and not able to attend and myself sky ping in we had 5 participating and by the raucous discussion you’d think it was 20! As is routine with [...] Read More

Book Clubs are Cozy: The Russian Debutante’s Handbook

by Leslie Patson | 1st April 2011

What a cozy book club I belong to! First of all, they rescheduled last Thursday’s long awaited get together when bad boy Craig had the flu – just can’t have the club without him! And then they are so patient with me skyping in! It’s such a funny and modern way to attend a dinner [...] Read More

Book Clubs are Cozy: The Art of Racing in the Rain

by Leslie Patson | 19th December 2010

I’m sure the tech nerds don’t often hear the word cozy but I just want to inform them that there actually is a big correlation between the two. I mean email has us communicating 24/7 and when you do actually want to speak to someone (yes, the real cozy) then picking up the phone is [...] Read More

Book Clubs are Cozy: The Elegance of the Hedgehog

Book Clubs are Cozy: Mr. Pip by Lloyd James

by Leslie Patson | 2nd June 2010

Last night the infamous (by our own accord) Bad Girls and Boys book club met to discuss the novel Mr. Pip by Lloyd James. I think it would be unanimous to say that the club reached a new level of RAUCOUS and I’m not sure if it was because of the exciting news of Miriam’s [...] Read More

Book Clubs are Cozy: Lying: A Metaphorical Memoir

by Leslie Patson | 28th March 2010

Well, the bad boys and girls book club was true to form the other night when although most people did show up, only half had read the book! What the what???? We convened at Miriam’s beautiful new house on Laurel Canyon to discuss the novel Lying: A Metaphorical Memoir by Lauren Slater. This was Brandy’s [...] Read More
