Hail and welcome to the kick off for this here White Noise Meander.
What’s the big idea?
A group of us are teaming up to read Don DeLillo’s (well heck I can’t describe it because I haven’t read it yet!) novel….
How’s it work?
We’ll be reading roughly 50-60 pages a week. Each week I’ll post the next week’s target. Read along, comment on each thread by week’s end, make it to the finish line, and you qualify for one free “I Survived the White Noise Meander”magnet, designed by long-time Meanderer, Elisabeth Beller.
Figure 1.1: This is not what the magnet will look like…
I’ll confess I broke all the rules and read 12 pages or so ahead and it was a blast. That said, distractions pop up, life takes twist and turns, and thus it always is that people drop off along the way.
But I believe in you and your ability to read a book in 50 page increments and post on a blog. You’re a sure bet to make it to the end. Me? My track record is so-so. But every Meander starts with optimism so yes, yes, and yes again: I’ll see ya at the back cover, my friends!
This week: Read through the end of Chapter 11, pumping the brakes when “a series of frightened children appeared at our door for their Halloween treats.”
Onward and throughward!
