The McSweeney's Reading Groups.

- - - -

We're inaugurating the McSweeney's Reading Group, which will exist on this site and as actual book klatches across the land. In March and on into April, we'll be organizing nights in some of our favorite bookstores, where readers can meet each other and also have a chance to talk to Yannick, in person in some places and via some sort of conference call in others. (Times and locations to be announced soon.) If you'd like to start your own group for Here They Come—or invite others into one you have already; we'd love that, too—e-mail us at bookgroup@mcsweeneys.net and we'll announce them. The other benefit of letting us know about your book group is the excellent pizza we will quite possibly buy and have delivered to you. There's a helpful preparatory sheet for such gatherings, which can be downloaded (as a PDF) here, but really we want to hear your ideas about this book, and accounts of your experiences with it, alone or in a group; we'll feature reports from various groups on this site each week. You can send them to that same address—bookgroup@mcsweeneys.net. Yannick wants to hear from readers as well, and we'll be passing her responses back to you.
