How about "Coffee in the Rye"
A play on my favorite HS book. laurie mommy to Jessica, 27 months and Christopher, 12 weeks *This email address is now valid* Joni Rathbun wrote in message ...

Are there any local authors whose names might work in? I'm still a bit new to the area but I don't think so. Well, Dean Martin's son wrote a book! (This is Las Vegas.) Mark Twain lived and wrote in the state for a while tho. I've been digging thru some Twain stuff to see if I can come up with something. |

"Joni Rathbun" wrote in message ... Okay, off topic and a little weird... but there are lots of clever people here so I thought I'd ask. I'm trying to come up with a new name for the little cafe we run in our h.s. library. We want the name to have a "literary bent." For example, I saw a cafe called "Cup and Chaucer" once and thought that was clever. Doubt most of our students would make the connection but you get the idea. Bakes & Books or Books & Bakes Chew & Chapter or Chapter & Chew The Bookcase The Muffin, the coffee and the bookshop ( A play on the Lion, the witch and the wardrobe?!) The Coffee Index Sorry I'm not very creative. Actually you are 'very' creative. All really good suggestions. Especially "The Bookcase" If I was going to name a H.S. library I would readily consider: The Index Cafe, (from your idea) Dennis |

Especially "The Bookcase" "If I'd known you were coming, I'd have booked a cake"? Cookie Bookie Nookie? No, that sounds as though they'd be groping each other at the tables, like that teashop in the latest Harry Potter. Bookery Bakery? The Metaphor Cafe sounds nice, and people could say "Meet you at the Met." Dang it, I just googled and there's a real one of those in Escondido, CA. Maybe Cafe Trope. Iambic Cafe. Pentameter Cafe. Cafe Villanelle. But this is getting out of most high school territory (they *do* still learn about iambic pentameter? maybe not -- I remember having to sit through explanations of it in two or three different college classes). --Helen |

I love the book of the month club - so many directions you can take that!
Gets my vote twice Edith "Jeff Utz" wrote in message ... Call it "Table of Contents" and then make the menu like the table of contents for a book. You can call it "Darwin's selection" (The was once a captain (Fitzroy) who brought a companion along his little boat (called the "Beagle") who wrote a few books on nature and natural selection after the trip, so he is a famous author). Darwin also wrote a famous treatises on earthworms and coral reefs, too. You can call it "Tolkien's Tales" or "canaberry tales" and have the drinks and food named after characters in Tolkiens or Chaucer's books. And serve the foods that they ate in Bree or Caneberry, like cakes. You could have it called the "Book of the month club" and have each class come up with a new book to theme to cafe. The best theme gets a party with the proceeds from the cafe for the year, or each class gets a party with the proceeds from the cafe for the month. That way, each class has to do something literary on their own. All the best, Jeff |
