re the books we've read in book club, with my notes:
Liars Club (our first book)- I wasn't in the book club then.
Drowning Ruth-sounds like an Oprah Book Club book, which I have a policy of boycotting
Eva Moves the Furniture- yep
Running With Scissors yep
The Silent American
No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency yep
The God of Small things
Sheltering Sky
Wild Swans
A Room with a View yep
100 Years of Solitude yep
The Samurai’s Garden
Women of the Silk
Enchanted April yep
Vanity Fair yep
Gilead
The Known World yep, and egads
You Shall Know our Velocity yep
Age of Innocence yep
Pride & Prejudice yep
Sense & Sensibility yep
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close yep
We may have read:
The Namesake
The Curious Incident of the dog in the Nighttime
The Tender Bar
Jo picked a classic – a women’s name I think – but I can’t remember
Sure we didn’t read:
Time Travelers Wife
The Poisonwood Bible (too long – I read it on my own – loved it) I know I read it, which amazes me. I can't imagine why I would have read it if the book club didn't.
My Sister’s Keeper – read the one with the little dress on the cover similar name. Ditto, but I know for sure I read it. No idea why or how I persevered.
Don’t think we read:
The Glass Castle (I know I read but don’t think we did for book club)
It’s fun to look back, what an amazing accomplishment!
I heard from a few people that they totally get the instinct to make this kind of list...

I just reserved the book you recommended tonight-- I'm 9 of 9 holds so it may be a bit.
As for the other books on this list-- good for you.I don't know that I could even try many of them!
I had some of the jelly beans on the way home--mmmm.
I too am now obsessed with the list. I think we did read Poisonwood Bible, The Quiet American (not whatever I said), Like Water for Chocolate, Evelina (Jo's choice), The Thin Man, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The Sparrow, Reading Lolita In Tehran, Rte Tautin (?? about cooking/France), The Memory Keepers Daughter.....I'll email you my list....enjoy.
