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.

All The King's Men by Robert Penn Warren (Puerta Azul)

Robert Penn Warren's All the King's Men was our book-of-the-month, and we gave it a very good reception. Perhaps inevitably, the conversation drifted in and out of Minnesota politics as well. Puerta Azul was our venue, and we gave it a pretty low rating. But at least the wine was good and inexpensive Our next meeting will be January 10; Paul will suggest the next book. (Note: Max actually suggested the next one: Tracey Kidder's Mountains Beyond Mountains.)
