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.

Travels With Charley by John Steinbeck (Blackbird)

The group met at Blackbird restaurant in Minneapolis and discussed John Steinbeck's Travels with Charley, which I gathered the group thought had not weathered well.   I wasn't there. The next book will be Empire of the Summer Moon by S. C. Gwynne.
