Lakewood Contemporary American Fiction Book Club

I decided to join a book club due to a personal love of books, studying fiction, and always listening to others opinions of fiction to better learn from their perspective. Having taken many hours in Creative Writing and English in college from many published authors I feel I have a great vision of what makes a great atmosphere for learning and discussion in Fiction. The purpose is that of open discussion on short stories and novels most likely at the start being 20-21st American writers but I am obviously open to all genres. This could change some as time goes on. I'd recommend people who should join share a love and passion for writers such as the ex-patriots of the 20's, and more contemporary authors such as Tim O'Brien, Alice Munro, Dennis Johnson, David Foster Wallace, etc.
