Our November Title

Lascivious Literate and Prurient Page Turners,

We are at the close of the October, we sincerely hope all of you who were able to read Wild At Heart enjoyed it immensely...I certainly did.
Now for the month of November we take a wild dive in to the modern male psyche with
Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk.


Yes indeed this months title goes out to emasculated,conflicted men reclaiming their identity and the bi-polar,suicidal,kleptomaniac women with really hot eyeliner that love them.

Copies of Fight Club are readily available at
Book Soup
and for online shoppers- Amazon is a treasure trove of copies!
If you are curious pick up a few other titles.
Survivor, Choke and Invisible Monsters please me greatly.

The meeting dates will be announced later this week...Also since I am partially relocating to Portland,Oregon I will be expanding the book club mission to the NW...Since I can't call it Nobody Reads in L.A. ( seriously...don"t even say L.A. in Portland )
I am toying with a new name.
As it stands Nighthawks at The Bookstore
or simply "Book Club" ( as in Rule #1) you don't talk about Book Club.) are shining bright.
Hopefully the books and movies will meet the with the same huzzah in the Rose City.
Updates on the postponed Barry Gifford event will follow soon as well.

We thank you- Now Get Lit!-
Nico B and Erin L
your NRILA supermodels

To Clarify..

To address the inquiries...
It does seems a little unclear from the search engines
about the state of affairs and the whosis and whatsis
of these wacky book club doings.
The group that uses "formerly Nobody Reads in L.A."
should be listing it as "formerly a part of"
WE ARE STILL HERE
and are not operating under
any other name.
Nobody Reads in L.A. is operated by
Miss Nico Bella and Miss Erin Levy
(Les Deux Dahlias)
and is supported, encouraged and egged on by Book Soup.

We will have another division called
"The Vice Scream Parlour"
launching in January but til then-
this is it.

I created the name and the concept
of the club in May of this year.
I had been holding on to it
since I moved to L.A. in 2003 and the
time was right to start it.

When I parted ways with
with my former associates I retained the name for my use.
They have gone their way and we wish them the
best , after all one can not wish ill on other literacy peddlers.
However, we are very excited about the fresh direction
the club has taken and
from the great emails I am receiving.
You, our "Lascivious Literates" do too!

See you at Casey's and
Get Lit,
XOXO-
Nico B.

Introducing...

Literate Ladies and Bibliophi-lic Boys,

may I introduce to you Erin Levy.
Erin is an employee of Book Soup and my delicious
co-conspirator in all things reading related.
You may also recognize her as the heart-breaker /ticket taker
for The Angel City Drive In.
Miss Erin and I are working together to ensure that all
your book club needs
( book club needs. Pervert)
are met and that your time as a participant in "Nobody Reads in L.A."
is as Shakespeare said, "totally kickass"

Miss Levy and I share a love of many things: whiskey, glitter and corsetry among said interests.
However,our bonding mutual obsession is The Black Dahlia.
We are currently at work constructing the second annual
Lost Weekend: Black Dahlia.
Last year we featured an art gallery, tours and film screenings.
This year we are focusing on not just the Dahlia , but the romantic iconography of crime and violence...
There will be art, live performances and other
marvelous tricks up our gorgeous sleeves.
You can rest ( in peace) assured we are up to
something and it will be unique and unrivaled.

We are also launching the Vice Scream Parlour- the all true crime and noir off-shoot of "Nobody Reads In L.A." that fine month of January.

that is all the news you can use for right now. be certain to scroll down and read the FAQ's
on the upcoming meetings surrounding "Wild At Heart" and events with Barry Gifford.
