Fahrenheit 451 - Special MOP
We'll dine on freshly killed and grilled venison heart with trimmings. A special bottle of reserved hearty red wine will accompany the game after an introductory holiday cocktail classic. The patio chiminea will provide an element of warmth to an anticipated cold early winter evening.
The novel to discuss is Ray Bradbury's Classic Fahrenheit 451. The focus of the novel is prophetically timely as our social culture is increasingly dominated by the visual. Books can become irrelevant. No! No book we have read has substantiated our Reason to gather more than Bradbury's novel which acknowledges the cerebral value and intrinsic mission of the MOP; Seeking Truth in the written word!
Bring a book to toss in the fire in honor of the novel. Perhaps This small token gesture will add to our appreciation for the loss of the written word as described in the novel.
Let's also plan to describe what book you would commit to memory if social censorship forced us to commit a novel to memory like in the novel.
Should be interesting. We have so much to share and so much to celebrate.
Pompous as ever

The rain arrived Friday as we gathered for dinner and book discussion. A sazerac before dinner served as a warming blanket to the arrival of the MOP quints. a roasted medley of vegetables and potatoes paved the way for grilled venison heart.A suitable decanted red wine nurtured the palate.
Soon we garnished a cigar for dessert and ventured outside on the porch to begin our discussion of Fahrenheit 451.The chimenea was prepped with wood. Joe Makatozi(Last of The Breed) would have been proud as a fire quickly engulfed the vessel. Various books were burned to memorialize Ray Bradbury's wonderful novel. A rum hot toddy served as double duty as hand warmer and porch guest.
Pompous presented everyone with a backyard squirrel tail. The tail does make an attractive book maker.
