Book Gang Unites! 6.7.2008

We met at Prospect Park to discuss Junot Diaz's The Brief, Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. This was the first hot as balls day of summer, but Book Gang is fire and heat resistant. Our only vulnerability seems to be mescal margaritas, which we discovered drinking Sharon's. She made the batch from scratch and mixed us up. When some people down the lawn heard about Book Gang, they were inspired enough to bring out a fifty foot American flag and wave it around. "Hey, you could have just honored us by reading a book," we said. "A what?" they said.
