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.

Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder (Chambers Kitchen)

Mountains Beyond Mountains is the inspiring tale of Dr. Paul Farmer and his fight against TB and other diseases in third world nations like Haiti. Our group, however, was less than wildly inspired, giving the book a slightly below average rating. On the other hand, our restaurant, Chambers Kitchen, was judged above average.
