The food and service at this east-side restaurant were very good but the noise level made conversation somewhat difficult. The book, a novel about German identity and culture three decades after WWII, was often insightful and poignant, but ultimately confusing, patchy, and hard to read. Our recent book, Aftermath, was a far more interesting and compelling portrait of post-war Germany.
Our next title is Thief River Falls, a thriller by Brian Freeman. Other books considered: Ian Morris, Geography is Destiny; Candice Millard, River of the Gods; Nichole Eustace, Covered with Night; and Peter Matthissen, Shadow Country. We plan to meet on Tuesday, August 16. Don is in line to suggest the following book.
