May 1st

We're meeting at Jan's place.  Thanks for this Jan!
Here's a video to inspire conversation when we get together.

In March

It seemed that our appreciation for The Headmaster's Wager was enthusiastic, and the evening was a pleasant one.  Actually I always have a great time at book club.

We chose a date for our next get-together (May 1st - not a Thursday!) but didn't choose a location.  There was some talk about meeting at a restaurant or bar.  Two suggestions were 17 Steps and On the Rocks, both on Bloor Street.  For this occasion we will be reading My Stroke of Insight by Jill Bolte Taylor and Left Neglected by Lisa Genova.

Other books mentioned:

• Loving Frank: A Novel by Nancy Horan
• Blonde: A Novel by Joyce Carol Oates 
• Pierre Burton's War of 1812 
• A Widow for One Year by John Irving
• The Patriarch: The Remarkable Life and Turbulent Times of Joseph P. Kennedy by David Nasaw

Some time during the evening we talked a little about The Elders, a group of global leaders working together for peace and human rights.
