After a summer hiatus, we return to Becky and Dan's for the September 2008 meeting. With four books to discuss, we are keeping the dinner thing easy while still promoting lots of drinking and other libations.
The assumption is, we will return to picking two books. One will be chosen by the next meeting hosts (Bob and Dawn), while a voting process will ensue for the second choice. Time will tell....
See you at the meeting!
Bob and Dawn have chosen "A Spot of Bother" by Mark Haddon as the "host's choice" for next meeting.
After nominating it for the third time, Tim managed to sell "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'brien. It won in a close race with the following nominees:
| Author | Nominator | |
|---|---|---|
| Yiddish Polish Ball | Michael Chabon | Jim |
| Trenchmouth Taggert | Dawn | |
| The Irregulars | Roalb Dahl | Bob |
| Bel Canto | Cathy | |
| The Story of Edgar Sawtelle | Becky |

A most excellent meeting, with most excellent pizza. That was a great idea. Too bad we didn't have any desserts.
Becky- thank you so much for all your tabulating....I appreciate it, and it is fun to keep up the discussions of the older books we've loved and hated. Great job moderating the festivities.
Looking forward to the next one at Bob & Dawn's. I better get reading soon!
I hope we get some more folks to comment on here as well.
