August 2004 marked the sixth year of Kill Your Television
Reading Group (KYTV). On the first Wednesday in August, August
4, the KYTV Reading Group celebrated that occasion with an
anniversary party and with a stimulating discussion of Robert
Penn Warren's All The King's Men. This book is especially
interesting to read in an election year in terms of what it
relates about all politicians and their followers, whatever
party they may be.
The larger than life politician and governor in the book,
Willie Stark, is based somewhat on Huey Long, the Governor
of Louisiana during the first half of the 1930's who was assassinated.
But All The King's Men stands on its own as a novel
and goes way beyond a fictionalization of Huey Long's life.
In fact the book is just as much about the narrator, Jack Burden,
and is presented to the reader as his memoir of his involvement
in politics, his life and what he learned from it all. Rather
it is Jack's perceptions of the events that occur, the people
involved and his own role in those situations that make the
book gripping reading.
KYTV Reading will meet on Wednesday, September 8 at 7 P.M.
to discuss One Hundred Years Of Solitude by Gabriel
Garcia Marquez. In October, KYTV Reading Group will return
to its normal schedule of meeting the first Wednesday of every
month, when it meets on Wednesday, October 6, at 7 P.M to discuss Moby
Dick by Herman Melville. Also every Friday evening at 7
P.M there is Pizza and Poetry, where one can munch on a little
bit of pizza, read, or recite poetry or just listen.
