Meeting Times and Proverbs

Hey Clubbers,

So our first meeting will be held tomorrow in rm. 405 at 3:00. Yes, we finally get to sit down and talk about this book! As a rule for those who are still reading, we will try to limit discussion to BEFORE the westerners appear in the book (if you haven't reached this point, you'll know it when you see it).

To move on to more blog related content, let's talk PROVERBS. Achebe describes conversation in village as a great art, filled with little proverbs (which are EVERYWHERE in the book. Here are two of my favs:

"A toad doesn't run in the daytime for nothing"

"A child's fingers are not scalded by a piece of hot yam which its mother puts into his palm"

What are some of your favourites? Write'em below!
