We are seven handsome and charming* guys who meet at a different restaurant every month or so, having read a book in common, and discuss whatever we want--generally the assigned book, but usually many other timely topics as well. We rotate the responsibility to suggest titles, but the group has the final say. Our book club rules: 1) Anything goes, fiction or nonfiction; 2) paperbacks are preferred; and 3) staying under 300 pages is desirable (N.B., we violate this one all the time). We rate all books and restaurants on a 5-point scale.

* All other adjectives were vetoed.

Staggerford by John Hassler & In Patagonia by Bruce Chatwin (Mai Village)

Some of us actually read both of these books! Others, the distracted ones, read only one. It looks like the consensus was in favor of the Hassler book, but Chatwin also received respectable reviews. Some weren't sure where the Patagonia book was going. Nevertheless, Mai Village proved very popular in the culinary ratings.
