Gentlemen, 

I will stop short of using the sudden doubling of my offspring as an excuse for my delay in prescribing the cure to your parchment fevers. 

Rather I will use this excuse instead

We don't have a whole lot of posts that recommend a parchment, so I would be doing myself a disservice, and every member of the MOP, if I didn't recommend the hell out of this.

So put on a little "Don't fear the reaper" and read on...

The book I have chosen is, in many ways, a celebration of the diversity of the MOP and our resulting parchment choices over these last 9 (count em) years. As evidence, see below some snippets of reviews of our current selection followed by the name of one of our previous selections that exemplifies the same sentiment. 

It has no structure or at the very least a perceivable one (A Winter's Tale)

It's about war. (Cloud Atlas)

It's about love and hate. (Another Bullshit Night)

It's about sanity and insanity. (Dorian Gray)

It's about aliens. (Parallel Worlds)

It's about life. (The Man Who Folded Himself)

It's about death. (The Death of Ivan Ilych)

so it goes.

Our next parchment is universally regarded as a classic and is ranked 18th on the list of 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. It involves some time travel and some aliens which you should come to expect from McPageturner by now.  It is generally recognized as Kurt Vonnegut's most influential and popular work. Our next parchment is

Slaughterhouse-Five - Kurt Vonnegut

May I also suggest June 10th or 11th as a meeting date? More details on the meeting to follow. I suggest we hash out any scheduling issues on the Hangout. 

Yours in parchment,

Margraff Readie McPageturner
