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.

Plot Against America by Phillip Roth (It's Greek To Me)

We skipped a December meeting, but gathered at It's Greek to Me right after the new year. We had a passable meal and discussed the Roth book, Most of us were a little disappointed in the Roth book, which was beautifully written (and strongly reviewed), but whose plot simply petered out in an unconvincing conclusion.
