Come to discuss your next favorite book! We'll stick to literary fiction, since there's generally not as much to discuss about very light fiction (as much as I love it). We'll try to meet monthly and organize polls to pick books that appeal to the most members. We'll also discuss the way that books we choose reflect themes from our generation or what we notice about other generations.
There will be a $3 fee for each meetup to defray the cost of having the meetup website.

Hey, Nerdz: The votes are in, and the winner is . . . The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, not, oddly enough, bY Taylor Swift, who just won yet another award. (Kanye must be thrilled.) Thank you, Aaron, for suggesting this book. Apparently, you have your finger on the literary pulse (or something).
The runner-up was You Can't Go Home Again by Thomas Wolfe. Read more

New Greeting for“Hello! Sorry I am sooooo late writing....Anyway, the bad new is that Rustico's doesn't really take reservations, but we could "constructively evict" people from a big table (i.e., just go sit with them. :) ) Otherwise, I'll see you at the coffee house. Have a great week!”posted by Wendy
