New books!!

We selected 4 new books -- all ones that somebody there had actually read.  Thanks for all the good suggestions.

We also selected additional books for possibilities (below). Bring thoughts on these to the July meeting and we can add ones that pass muster to the list.

• A gentleman in Moscow, Towles
• The two-family house, Loigman
• Warlight, Ondaatje
• Less, Greer
• The tea girl of Hummingbird Lane, See
• Infidel, Ali
• 12 years a slave, Northup
• Waking Lions, Gunder-Goshen

Other books mentioned today but not added to the list:

• Lamb: The Gospel according to Biff, Christ's childhood pal, Christopher Moore. Very funny.
• Constantine's Sword, Carroll

New time to meet

Starting February, we will try meeting at 2 pm, usual place.

Also, the list has been updated, but not proofed. Let me know if there need to be changes.

Two Reading Lists

A couple of new lists I've run across in the past few days.  Some of the titles got my attention.  Others, not so much.

One from the Washington Post - click here.

One from Country Outfitter (seems an unlikely source, but you never know) - click here.

Ilene Steele in "Bob: A Life in Five Acts"

In case you missed it...  Our own Ilene Steele in the Sun-News.

You can see the article here.  We plan to go this weekend.  Can't wait to see it!

Obama's summer reading list

Thought you might be interested to see what POTUS is reading.

10 Famous Memoirs Everyone Should Read Once

I came across this today on my feed.  I'm always alert to interesting lists.  Not sure I'd read every single one of these, but certainly need to read some of them.

The Art of the Fake in Fiction and Non-fiction

An interesting take in the Huffington on both the Perenyi book and the Shapiro that we read earlier.  Read it here.

Mongolian photography

This came across my feed this morning.  Seems to me all of these people were characters in The Blue Sky.  Stunning part of the planet.

Truth. In fiction.

Something about this made me think of you guys.

A second book from Harper Lee!

Wow.  Read about it here.

In case you wondered if we rock...

We do.  We totally rock.

And if there's a teeny bit of BS in this article, I choose to ignore it.  Because we're readers.  And we rock.

Here's a potentially fun app from NPR.  I haven't played with it yet, but listened to the piece this morning.  Click here for the link.

So sorry I will have to miss our December discussion.  I love The Goldfinch.
