February with Oryx and Crake

It seemed that there was consensus regarding Oryx and Crake.  We found it pretty impressive, and fun to read.  Aren't you glad I didn't serve chickienobs?

For next month we've decided to read The Sisters Brothers by Patrick DeWitt.  We'll meet on March 22nd at Jane's.

As for thoughts about other books to read I can remember several:
  • Breakthough: the Saga of Jonas Salk by Richard Carter 
  • In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin by Erik Larson
  • The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
  • The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival by John Vaillant
  • Something Fierce: Memoires of a Revolutionary Daughter by CarmenAguirre
  • On a Cold Road by Dave Bidini
  • Prisoner of Tehran by Marina Nemat
  • Go the Fuck to Sleep by Adam Mansbach
You may enjoy this video presentation of the last book:
