Summer Reads

OK, I am sorry that this post has taken so long. I lost my list and finally found it last night. (This is what happens when you have too many coats).

Now my notes are kind of rough. I think that Jen ("Fraction of the whole or Three Day Road" )was going to host September and I know that Marnie was thinking "Run" for October and it looks like Liz is going to Host November.

I see that Slap - Sandra's recommendation has already made the blog.

So if I got some of them wrong ... so sorry! Too many glasses of wine while taking notes!

Recommended reads:
Run author Ann Patchett
A Fraction Of The Whole author Steve Toltz
Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden
Multiplicity Author: Rita Carter ( I think this is the right book)
She's Come Undone author Wally Lamb
Fall on Your Knees author Ann-marie Macdonald
White Teeth Author: Okot P'bitek
The Hour I First Believed author Wally Lamb
The Unbearable Lightness Of Being Author: Milan Kundera
Emergency Sex and Other Desperate Measures: A True Story From Hell on Earth author Kenneth Cain
The In-between World Of Vikram Lall author M.g. Vassanji
The Road author Cormac Mccarthy

Happy Reading Everyone!

October's read

Hi all, Jen B gave me the heads up that we are already discussing the fall book list. I would like to host the October meeting with the book "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts" by Gabor Mate. It is a large book, non-fiction and the best and most illuminating read I have ever had about addiction. Let me know what you think, Liz

Found the Book!

Hi everyone...just saw a huge ad in the Globe and Mail for 'Slap', by, Cristos Tsoilkas, the book that Sandy recommended at the last meeting. It is available at chapters online for only $16. We could order a whole bunch and get free shipping if anyone's interested.
