Well, our first meeting was a success! We now have a list of titles to ponder......

1) Little Brother by Cory Doctorow (this is the front runner)

2) Collapse by Jared Diamond

3) Grayson by Lynne Cox

4) Suit Francaise by
Irene Nemirovsky and Sandra Smith

5) A Town Like Alice by Nevil Shute

6) Geek Love by Katherine Dunn

7) Our Kind by Marvin Harris

8) Devil in the White City by Erik Larsen

9)
The Path Between the Seas by David McCullough (and various others by this author)

10) The Sookie Stackhouse series (on which HBO's True Blood is based) by Charlaine Harris

I think 10 is a good start. Vote, veto, and keep suggestions coming for a week or two! Then we'll make a final decision and start reading......

FIRST BOOK CLUB MEETING--SUNDAY, JANUARY 11TH 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM

This Sunday will be our first official (yet informal) meeting! We'll be socializing and getting to know each other over a few sips of beer and wine (or coffee if you prefer), followed by a little kicking-around of titles. Your homework assignment is to make a short list of books you've been meaning to read for a while but haven't yet made a commitment. Post your title suggestions! Once all the votes are in, the title selection will be announced and we can get going.....
