Looks to me like an excellent book. Will be on my list of recommendations for next time.

Happy reading!

Who, What, When, Where, Why

Who: Book Club (Present: Louise, Marie, Mike, Amy, Jarby, Sandy, Katie)

What: Meeting

When: Nov. 8, 2009 12:00 PM

Where: Amy's

Why: Discussion of "The Corrections" by Jonathan Franzen

Quick Recap: We talked a lot about the book, everyone expressing a lot of thoughts! Sandy said she was happier reading when the author boiled things down, taking out all the superfluous "stuff". Thus, this boiled down version!

Next time, bring 2 suggestions - 1 drama (or whatever) and 1 lighter/humorous choice

Suggestion for next time: (not for sure decided) Finn by Jon Clinch about Huck Finn's dad.

Next time: Jarby will email - will be mid-January-ish.

Thank you, Amy for the great grub (breakfast tortillas with EVERYTHING -nuff said) Fun!
See you next time.....!
