Dinner was at a well-regarded new restaurant, Haute Dish, which turned out to have some tasty dishes but whose overall rating was embarassingly low because of slow/bad service. They put us in a relatively quiet back alcove, and then kind of abandoned us for most of the next 2 1/2 hours. Our book discussion was outstripped by talk about travel, politics, and other topics. For some reason, despite its general poopularity Tinkers offered fewer interesting discussion points than many of our previous selections. For next time, we are reading The Big Short by Michael Lewis, an analysis of the financial crisis. The only other book suggested was John McPhee's Survival of the Bark Canoe. Bill suggests the next book.
