Jenna led our discussion of Lady Chatterley's Lover and helped steam up the windows of the Second Chance Saloon, a metal bar in Williamsburg. Beth Duerr won the sexiest / funniest cover prize. We ordered way too much pizza and then took the discussion to Sweet Ups, and talked our way into the wee hours about the metaphoric possibilities of words like "cunt" and "fuck." Jenna made the night's most interesting comment, which will forever change our reading of the book when she said, "Whenever Mellors talked I'd think of Groundskeeper Willy."
The Second Chance Saloon turned out to be this metal bar. Besides us, there were about four or five hair farmers in the place, but they were screaming as if at a Metallica concert. But Bookgang proceeded in the face of these great odds, thanks to the bravery of members like Jenna and Leslie.
Beth won the prize for best LCL cover.
Conversation (and cordials) continued at Sweet Ups.
