First, an invitation from our friend Tal Bachman (Bachman-Turner Overdrive) with a personal invitation:
The jokes, the panel discussions, political wit and wisdom, the sing-alongs, the dinners, the friends new and old, getting to know Mark and his chums, and exploring new places - that's all part of why the Mark Steyn cruises have become a beloved part of so many lives. Koko, our new daughter Dahlia, and I are looking forward to another great cruise with everyone. See you there!
For more information on how to reserve your cabin, please click here or see below. We look forward to seeing you on board next October in Quebec City on the Queen Mary 2!

Dear Mark, I am glad to renew my membership in the Mark Steyn Club. Thanks for all of the great content and all that you do...

With great appreciation
Ron from Texas just joined:
Sorry, I have been reading without paying so long.
Fran from Gloucestershire has returned to the club:
Have missed the audio book serialisations!
Happy to have you back Fran! We hope you will enjoy Mark's current narration of his highly prescient demographic bestseller, America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It. We invite you to catch up with parts 1-7 here. A new episode will air later today.
Meanwhile, here is how the last seven days looked at SteynOnline:
~ Mark celebrated a quintessentially American song in Steyn's Song of the Week on Sunday.
~ On Monday Mark put it succinctly: "Never Mind the Bollocks, It's Islam".
~ In Tuesday's Notebook, our most read piece of the week, Mark surveyed the scene from a shake-up at CBS to Blair's Digital ID and Keira Knightley's body-double...
~ Mark fielded questions from Mark Steyn Club members live around the planet at its usual time (8pm UK/ 3pm ET) on Wednesday. This week's show covered a range of topics from the shutdown of the government in the U.S. to the crackdown on conservatives in the rest of the world. In case you missed it, here is the action replay.
~ Thursday's Laura Links celebrated "Twenty Miracles".
~ On Friday, Mark looked at the big picture from the New York City mayor's race to the latest so-called "grooming gang" scandal in the United Kingdom - and what both have in common...
~ On this week's episode of Mark Steyn on the Town on Saturday, we marked the spectacular last act of Al Jolson's long career, including a word from his godson and our first venture into the world of suspended animation. Plus, our Sinatra Sextet.
~ Later, in anticipation of Halloween next week, Rick McGinnis reviewed Nobuo Nakagawa's cult classic Jigoku.
A new week begins later today with Steyn's Song of the Week at Serenade Radio at 5:30pm GMT/ 1:30pm ET. Please note the different time in North America due to the end of daylight savings in the UK. The usual five-hour difference will resume next week.
