I belong to the ULTIMATE BOOK GROUP.
We meet at MY humble abode,
which makes it very convenient for moi.
Actually, we've met at our place for about ten years. At least.
The book group motivates me to read
a great diversity of literature.
This month's selection =
Deep Economy by Bill McGibbons
I'm a better person for having read it.
Here are a few of my favorite books
that we've tackled recently . . .
Glass Castle
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
Stiff - The Curious Life of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach
Would I have ever chosen to read about CADAVERS
without the charismatic biologist in the group who pitched that book?
Definitely not!
But I am scientifically improved, due to Stiff.
In addition to a stimulating discussion,
the gathering provides other niceties.
Like, FOOD.
We each toss some little potluck snack onto my dining room table
and the combination is always satisfying.
And then a roaring fire in the living room.
I DO like that!
But, most of all, I like this bunch of women!
They are smart.
They are funny.
They are dear friends, as well as fellow readers.
(AND, they are non-exclusive, if you want to join.)

I would actually LOVE to join your book group! Any thoughts on moving that monthly gathering to Ohio?
I've read and enjoyed 3 books from your list! I am half way through Stiff and can't put it down. I wish it were possible to join your book club!
Sounds very fun. But I'm not reading about cadavers. You guys are too high brow for me.
