A new season of Book Club!

An excellent turnout today with all present except for our French Correspondent M. Mairtin. With so much catching up to do, we almost didn't discuss the book at all but after the bill was paid a rousing conversation ensued with insightful comments from all. Even those that hadn't read the book! Bravo.

All recommendations were put forward and (mostly) approved. We are still holding off on a LeClezio novel until more research can be done to find one of his novels that is translated and easy to find in the U.S.
