Next Book!

We had a lovely meeting at the Sudweeks home. The GPS was going batty trying to get there but we made it. We discussed The Brief, Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. Leah did a wonderful review and helped us understand the author and the different voices that immigrants speak through. Most of us felt that the book's violence and language were gratuitous, though it was an interesting and captivating story. Comments welcomed!
Our next book will be The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, by David Wroblewski. This is a first novel, described as a "modern Hamlet", and has incredible endorsements. Jennifer has the books for next time, July 10. Place to be determined. Bring your calendars as we will be picking a date for our August hike to the Stegner Bench.
Bob W. is getting married on June 27 in Salt Lake City. Mark your calendars for a reception for them on July 19. Congratulations Bob.
