February 2017 Recap



Santa Barbara Art in Nordstrom Paseo Nuevo



Dear Bookclub,
Terry's round table set the perfect stage for our discussion of Ann Patchett's "Commonwealth". Soup, salad and saga. We really liked this book. As refreshing as lunch, Patchett's writing style and story re-energized our imaginations about a particular time in suburban America and our appreciation for a well-told tale.

Terry suggested a long list for an upcoming read but the first three were the official suggestions; the second three were old wannabe's from Terry's stacks:

"A Gentleman in Moscow" Amor Towles
"Hillbilly Elegy" J.D. Vance *chosen
The Underground Railroad" Colson Whitehead

"Swamplandia!" Karen Russell
"We the Animals" Justin Torres
"The Submission" Amy Waldman

Up next,  Ivan Doig's "Last Bus to Wisdom":


Happy reading,
LK
