Great restaurant experience with a quiet table, good service and fine food. Our books, however, got mixed but mostly favorable reviews. The Serviceberry was a paean to communitarianism with a hope that, as a culture, we can create the circle of life represented by the serviceberry's role in the natural world. The March on Washington was bogged down at the beginning by detailing the almost day-by-day efforts of A. Philip Randolph to organize a massive demonstration for civil rights before and during WWII. We found the author's story-telling skills to be weak.
Our next book is Kevin Barry's Night Boat to Tangier. Other titles considerted were Moore, The God of the Woods, Backman, My Friends, and Snyder, On Tyranny. Peter is up next to suggest books. We'll meet on July 1.
