Just a few of us. It was suggested that perhaps we didn’t do enough publicity so people didn’t know about it. Since the other possibility is that no one is interested I guess we’ll go with that and try to improve publicity before the next meeting on November 23 (4th Saturday). We’ll be talking about books that make great gifts. Will be very short notice for Hanukkah so we’ll post some suggestions on the BLOG before the meeting.
So far we are planning to talk about mysteries in December, history in January and Non-fiction in February. Will wait to do more planning until more people have time to provide some input.
Some other books that were mentioned (in addition to the ones on the blog) – State of Wonder by Ann Patchett, the Hotel Pastis by Peter Mayle, The Boys in the Boat (see info on the last post), The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert, The Accidental Tourist by Anne Tyler, and Longitude by Dava Sobel.
