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.

French Lessons: Adventures with Knife, Fork, and Corkscrew, Knopf by Peter Mayle & Fog of War Directed by Errol Morris (Babalu)

Everyone enjoyed French Lessons, but most agreed that it was not in the highest rank of books. The movie, Fog of War, and Robert McNamara got more discussion. Babalu received mixed reviews: the inventive menu and good food was balanced by loud, piped-in music. The next book is With the Old Breed, a World War II memoir by Eugene Sledge. We will meet on April 19; Bill suggests the next book.
