Just a general update: Amazon bought Goodreads yesterday. So, brace yourself for changes...not sure if this is good or bad yet. We'll see.http://www.digitalbookworld.com/2013/...

Someone recommended The Presidents Club to me the other day. It observes the relationships between the Presidents over the years - who are friends, who hate each other, etc.

"Dear Life" by Alice Munro.
Just read a piece suggesting it as a good book club book. It is 4 closely related short stories, something we haven't done. Could be good, especially for those who can't make it through a whole book :)
It's an intense one. Nicole and I have read it.
In my top 10...would make for a great discussion!

It sounds similar to 11/22/63 in that the main character struggles with her actions impacting known outcomes.

Hopefully they produce "Quiet" type discussions.

Just so you know, I'm "super cultured" as well.
Aren't we all? I mean I totally bought the book in the museum gift shop to see what all the fuss was about...going to read it while I wait to see it.
Larry Brown has suggested: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1..."The look at other countries' ways of raising children and education, etc. compared with ours is a real eye opener, not only for parents, but for all of us who are interested in comparative social trends. We do some things well and a bunch very badly. These issues have a real impact on how our country suceeds or fails in the future. "

Is anyone interested in "The Circle" by Dave Eggers for a fiction choice. I've been wanting to read it forever, but haven't picked it up yet."a captivating story of one woman’s ambition and idealism that soon becomes a heart-racing novel of suspense, raising questions about memory, history, privacy, democracy, and the limits of human knowledge."
