We have a different format: each member chooses from a list of ten books, (scroll down under "what's new" on the welcome page to find a link for the current month's book list) and reads his or her chosen book for the upcoming meeting. When we put together the list, we aim for variety. There's always nonfiction covering diverse fields, and interesting old or new fiction. Each member comes ready to discuss his or choice. No two people read the same book? No problem! Everyone read the same book, or anything in between? No problem!
Our September, 2009 booklist is: How Doctors Think by Jerome Groopman, M.D.; A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole,; The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner; Chronicles: Volume One,by Bob Dylan; Julie and Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen: Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin; Bonk! The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex by Mary Roach;Strange Piece of Paradise, by Terri Jentz;A Voyage Long and Strange, by Tony Horowitz;This Republic of Suffering;by Drew Gilpin Faust
