Champagne Sharks Book Club: The Image Pt. 1 (Patreon)

In addition to movie nights, we've been doing book club night. We read the book and then do the subsequent discussion over at the Discord voice and chat server. If you are a patron but haven't figured out how to use the Discord server yet, you simply have to follow these instructions: https://www.patreon.com/posts/instructions-for-31613305. Participation in the movie and book club night discussions is available to all patrons.

Book Club is on Friday night and Movie Club is on Saturday night.

This is the first installment of next book, The Image by Daniel Boorstin.
