Book Group Selections for 2007.
All meetings are on the third Wednesday of the month, except in February (due to Mardi Gras) and November (due to Thanksgiving).
2008 Book recommendation lists will be made in the November meeting.
The first three books for 2007 have been selected. I still need to consult DeVille’s Bookstore to determine when some books will be available in paperback and how easy it will be to obtain books that were published 10 years ago. Once this determination has been made, the dates with the book will be announced.
As always, a 10% discount for book club members will be available at DeVille’s.
We will meet at PJ’s on Maple Street. In the March meeting, we will decide whether to meet at another location for the next quarter.
The following books will be discussed in the first quarter of 2007:
January 17 – The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson
February 28 – The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai (this work was the 2006 Booker Prize winner)
March 21 The Black City by George Sand
These other books have also been selected. The dates of discussion will be announced later.
Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
The Conjurer’s Bird by Martin Davies
The Devil and Miss Prym by Paulo Coelho
Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer
Maps for Lost Lovers by Nadeem Aslam
The Mercury Visions of Louis Daguerre by Dominic Smith
Pinocchio in Venice by Robert Coover
Pope Joan by Donna Woolfolk Cross
The dates for the rest of 2008 meetings are:April 18, May 16, June 20, July 18, August 15, September 19, October 17, and November 14.

You've got some very cool choices there! I am going to look for some of these books myself :)
I'll be back to read your reviews later. I've got some of those books and am looking forward to them so I'm curious what you thought of them too :)
I try not to give away too much of the plots in my book reviews, so if you read it, you will be surprised.
I am looking foward to this year's readings.
What are you reading in your Int. Fiction book group?
