No Name Book Club with No Book

On Wednesday night we had a wonderful time at 7numbers on Danforth - excellent food, plenty of wine and chat.

Saara, our scout at the Toronto International Film Festival recommended four movies to watch out for in the coming year.

  • An Eye for Beauty directed by Denys Arcand
  • Still Alice starring Julianne Moore from the novel Still Alice by Lisa Genova
  • Wild starring Reese Witherspoon from the memoir Wild by Cheryl Strayed
  • The Grump - a Finnish film based on Tuomas Kyro's novel.
There wasn't a great deal of book talk in the course of the evening, at least not within my earshot, except a mention of David Mitchell, author of Cloud Atlas, who's just published a new novel that's getting high praise:  The Bone Clocks.

Remember that we'll be at Wanda's on October 16th to talk about The War that Ended Peace by Margaret MacMillan.
