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.

God of the Woods by Liz Moore (Zoom)

As a mystery story, this book was a change of pace for us.  Two young members of the same family disappear from a summer camp in different years, and the storyline focuses on what happened to them.  We all followed along happily but some of us thought the book dragged a bit and ended unsatisfactorily.  Our next book is Run by Ann Patchett. Other titled considered were Ishiguro's Klara and the Sun and The Remains of the Day, as well as Strout's Tell Me Everything and Bacon's Gales of November. We plan to meet April 14 at Cafe Biaggio, and Dick will pick the next book list.
