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.

Thief River Falls by Brian Freeman (Hola Arepa)

The book will be found in the mystery/thriller section of the bookstore, a section we don't often visit. But it provided a pretty good entertainment, especially after the late-in-the-game plot twist. The restaurant offered good food and service, but a lot of noise, too.  We were washed out of the inviting patio seating by rain showers.

Our next book is Willa Cather, One of Ours.  Other titles considered: Millard, River of the Gods; Krueger, This Tender Land; Ward, Sing, Unburied, Sing; and Yong, An Immense World.  We'll meet next on Wednesday, Sept 28, at 6:30.  Max is in the hotseat for choosing the next book.
