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.

Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (True Thai)

There was a pretty close consensus that Kite Runner was a good read that ran out of steam near the end. True Thai was rated average. Bill suggested the next book: Austerlitz by W. G. Sebald. Phil offered to host the next meeting on August 22 on his boat at the Watergate Marina, weather permitting.
