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.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon (Cafe Twenty-Eight))

Curious Incident of the Dog was mildly popular, evoking a discussion about autism. The restaurant, 28 Cafe, received pretty good reviews from five, but was panned by two (avoid that pork chop, folks). Next book (July 17): Richard Ford's Independence Day. Runners up: Pablo Neruda's Memoirs and Edward Wilson's Future of Life. Jim suggests the next book.
