Our November meeting "WILD AT HEART" by Barry Gifford

 
The FROBC takes a turn on to the
highway for a wild ride.
This high octane true love story
surrounds the romance between
modern literature's "Southern Gothic Romeo & Juliet"
Sailor Ripley and Lula Pace Fortune.

Made in to a remarkable cinema by David Lynch in
1990 who called it "a really modern romance in a violent world – a picture about finding love in hell.".

"Wild At Heart" had the world listening to
Chris Isaak for the first time
and had everyone sayin'
"You got me hotter than Georgia asphalt."
As with most movies though...
you only got half of the story.

Join us as we follow our star crossed lovers
on an adventure filled with my favorite M's
Murder,Mayhem and Make-out
A LOT OF MAKE OUT...
 
 
Tuesday Nov. 8th

October Meeting -"Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" By Philip K. Dick

"If you dial," Iran said, eyes open and watching, "for greater venom, then I'll dial the same."


After a year of dipping in to the past this month The First Rule of Book Club reaches in to the future with Philip K. Dick's post-apocalyptic masterpiece.

Written in 1968 and set in 1992 ( though later editions set it in 2012) "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" follows bounty hunter Rick Deckard as he sets out to retire the last of the Nexus -6 androids. Though futuristic in it's settings, this novel offers a very modern meditation on manufactured emotion,marketed religion and our ever lessening empathy.



The discussion will be followed by a special screening of Blade Runner ( Final Cut). The film, released in 1982 and starring Harrison Ford, Sean Young , Rutger Hauer and Darryl Hannah is a visually lush adaptation of Philip K. Dick's novel.

Enjoy the original 1982 Trailer for "Blade Runner"
