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.

Gilead by Marilynne Robinson (Da Afghan)

We met at Da Afghan, which got a higher rating than the first time we were there. We were somewhat divided on the quality of the book, Marilynne Robinson's Gilead, but it did rate higher than the average. Our next book is the classic, Babbitt, by Minnesota author Sinclair Lewis.
