October Book Club

I am holding the next book club and I had an epiphany on the way home...why not choose the book that I am in the middle of right now (and enjoying), rather than add a new one to my list. Maybe that seems obvious to other people, but I was so excited about reading 1776 that I was ready to jump the gun. I decided I needed to come home and post on the blog right away in case anyone went out and got 1776 tomorrow.

I hereby declare that in October we will read Complications: A Surgeon's Note on an Imperfect Science, by Atul Gawande. I thought it would be fitting for our group, because of all the people in the medical field. I know Anne has already read it and it is one of Carly's favorite books...but I think that is still legal and I am pretty sure they both wouldn't mind discussing it.

Don't be intimidated...I hate needles and I am really interested in the book.

Mark your calendars, Friday October 10th 8:00 my place. I will email my address.

Thanks for letting us know! I was going to start 1776 today :)

I'm going to email/blog the new schedule at some point today or tomorrow, but now I don't have rush because everyone knows what the book is.

So good to see you last night!
