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.

Blade Runner by Scott Bukatman and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip Dick (Luci Ancora)

We watched a movie this time, Bladerunner, and some read the novel on which it was based, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Paul made a strong case that the movie raises important issues regarding human identity and contemporary society. An incomplete group, we met at Luci Ancora and had a very satisfying meal. The next book is V. S. Naipaul, India: A Wounded Civilization. The meeting is April 1.
