Mop Philosophy Monday

 I've been thinking about this concept we've talked about : Mop Philosophy Book Club.  I have an idea: I think we should read classic books.  I have a couple of reasons for this, one being that the classics are easier to find at libraries etc, the other being that contemporary novels already have nine million reviews and discussion groups online.  I discovered this when I googled Life After Life, Kate Atkinson's new book (which I recommend by the way).
I think we'd want to run the Book Club every six to eight weeks, which would give us plenty of time to read the novel, compile some theory behind the book, and think on what we've taken from the novel as Mop Philosophers like to do.
What do you think?  You can yea or nay in the comments and if there are enough "yea's" for the classic book idea I'll put the first Mop Philosophy Book Club book out later this week.  Of course if you are a "yea" and you have suggestions please leave those in the comments too.
Beet salad with fresh thyme.
Well it's a Monday and you know what that means: cleaning.  Specifically today I'm giving the kitchen a real clean, then I'll be making a beet salad to go along with some roasted chicken we're having for dinner.
I hope your own Monday goes well and that all of your chores get crossed off your list!
