Do you love reading as much as I do? Do you often find yourself finishing a great book and at a loss for not having someone with whom to share the experience? Do you love great literature? Do you miss the student experience of reading a book and discussing the deeper meaning and implications with a group? If this sounds like you, join my book club! We will meet once a month to discuss our latest selection. I am open to any and all suggestions.

Note that we meet monthly in member's homes which tend to be located WEST of Beverly Hills. Of course this is not set in stone.

For those of you who may be considering joining this group, our past book selections were BLINDNESS, GILEAD, NEVER LET ME GO, THUNDERSTRUCK, WATER FOR ELEPHANTS, A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS, THE ROAD, THE BRIEF WONDROUS LIFE OF OSCAR WAO, OUT STEALING HORSES, HOUSE OF MEETINGS, SOMEONE KNOWS MY NAME, MY NAME IS RED, CLOUD ATLAS, THE BOOK THIEF, ANY HUMAN HEART, THE SEPTEMBERS OF SHIRAZ, THE SHADOW OF THE WIND, THE WIND-UP BIRD CHRONICLE and NETHERLAND, TO SAY NOTHING OF THE DOG, 2666, DEAD SOULS, THE ECHO MAKER, and THE SATANIC VERSES.

BABY postponement! Let's meet in the middle of November when the fog has cleared. I apologize.


This book is considered by many to be one of the greatest of the 20th century. Many of you might grimace as not only was this book written by a French author, but it is rather old! Come on... give it a chance... Read more
