Does your Thanksgiving dinner include popcorn, toast, and breakfast cereal? If so, you won’t have any problem remembering the next MnRead event, two weeks from today on Monday, Dec. 8, in which we honor St. Paul’s legend of the funny pages, Charles M. Schulz. Bring any Peanuts book and be prepared to share one or two of your favorite cartoons, either because they are deceptively simple while concealing immeasurable depths of existential misery, or because they make you laugh. We meet sixish at Stub & Herbs in Stadium Village. We are an open book club and everyone is welcome.
Recommendations for our February MnRead may be submitted here. Books must have a local connection, be in print, and available in paperback. All nominations will be considered and put to the vote if they meet the criteria (local, available, and inexpensive).

I found out that my little bro has all of our old Peanuts books in storage in California. So, I’m not hopeful of being able to bring an actual, authentic ’60s-era Peanuts book along with me.
I’m still lookin’, though, through my own boxes of … stuff.

I’m going to put in a request for David Mura’s Famous Suicides of the Japanese Empire. It is available in paperback, he lives in Minnesota, and I think it looks intersting.
Meanwhile, I need to get back to the library to get me a Peanuts book. Or maybe I’ll just find something on the web.
