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.

Imperial Life in the Emerald City by Rajiv Chandrasekaren, the One Percent Doctrine by Ron Suskind, Colossus: Rise and Fall of the American Empire by Niall Ferguson (Il Vesco Vino)

This month was an experiment. We each chose to read a different book about the War in Iraq and to discuss them as a group. We read Imperial Life in the Emerald City by Rajiv Chandrasekaren, the One Percent Doctrine by Ron Suskind, Colossus: Rise and Fall of the American Empire by Niall Ferguson, and others. Il Vesco Vino proved popular with most of us.
