003. - Book Club!

Alright, so I've suggested this a little to some friends of mine, but I'm thinking about throwing this out a bit wider.

I'm thinking about starting up a book club. Less in the style of book of the month and more organizing one or possibly more groups who can share books or even genres they love most with other people. People would still do the whole guiding discussion but not looking for high end critique so much as just talking about it.

We all need something to unwind and I don't doubt some of us are really fans of reading. I would think the arrangement might work best with members willing to buy their own books. I think for the first few meetings I'd be willing to cook either a simple meal or some finger foods to enjoy, but people could also volunteer to provide food or drinks.


Anyone interested in the idea?

This is the first I've heard of this universe taking something away from an imPort. Usually it just adds things that weren't there before.

Interesting. I have known people to leave and come back, some with less time in between than others. [ Himself included. ] It's been proven that our Porter-given abilities can change upon reentry to this universe, but I was unaware they could change anything we came with naturally.

Was your eidetic memory Porter-given or natural?

[ Telepaths? Interesting. ]

So you just have a base-level eidetic memory.

...If there is such a thing.

Not quite the same as a true eidetic memory then.

You said this was due to a run in with some telepaths?

Your life sounds really complicated.

Extremely complicated.

[ Bean tries to shrug it off. ]

Eh. But it is what it is, so I'm not going to stress over it.

[ He did enough of that when he returned from his trip back to his world. ]

For however long or short that lasts.
