Anyway, this is what's up:
October 2015: Cleopatra: A Life by Stacy Schiff
November 2015: A Bell for Adano by John Hersey
January 2016: The Golden Books Family Treasury of Poetry selected etc. by Louis Untermeyer
February 2016: Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End by Atul Gawande
March 2016: The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway
April 2016: Still Life with Bread Crumbs by Anna Quindlen

June 2016: Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There by Lewis Carroll
September 2016: Consider the Fork: How Technology Transforms the Way We Cook and Eat by Bee Wilson
We aim for a mix of classics/contemporary, fiction/non-fiction, long/short/in-between & I hope for a wildcard: a play, poetry, a graphic novel. Not every year hits every note, but every year has variety which is the goal.
We still have June & September of the current year to wrap up. & I have updated the Goodreads Kitchen Table Book Club shelf to reflect everything we have read in the past -wow! that many!- years.
Marybeth's bookshelf: kitchen-table-book-club
Maybe it was growing up in CT, the same time as the narrator, knowing Choo-choo & Railroad Salvage, remembering when AIDS wasn't even called AIDS yet, but I just fell into this book.
