----------

Jan 2005: Ross Macdonald, BLACK MONEY (1966). Macdonald's place in the
          pantheon is hotly debated. Let's examine some evidence.

Feb 2005: The Bleeck midwinter. Ross Thomas month (including books written as
          Oliver Bleeck or any other pseudonyms). Many are back in print in
          trade paperback editions, and libraries and used bookstores
          always have something by him.

Mar 2005: Joseph Hansen (1923-2004) month. The Dave Brandstetter series, and
          anything else by Hansen, are up for discussion.

Apr 2005: Guest of honour: Vicki Hendricks.

TBD 2005: Ken Bruen month. Ken Bruen will be the guest of honour.
          Exact month to be determined.

----------

Having a theme for a month, where people can read any book by a particular author or in a certain series or on a certain topic, is easier all around than the old book-of-the-month readings we'd do. It brings up a lot more discussion on the list and it doesn't tie everyone to a certain book that may be hard for them to find. I encourage everyone to read something related to the theme of the month and mention it on the list. All the regular RARA-AVIS talk goes on as well, of course.

This message is automatically sent out twice a month.
