I don't know if it's on the list, but I think our next book should be "Then we Came to the End," by Joshua Ferris.
It's edgey yet funny & written from a VERY unique perspective. And it has something to say yet isn't too offensive (it's one of the rare books that my mother loved as much as I did). It's set in an advertising office and some of its observations (about co-workers, cubicles, bosses, life...) are SOO accurate and hilarious. But it's about more than work. |

So I just found this article and wanted to throw it out there as a possible book idea:
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/24935635/ Of course, I'm a little biased because I've met Andre and interviewed him. Great writer. And great great guy! I have a cool story about that interview that I will tell you guys at book club.   |

Another book idea. I've heard great things about "The Memory Keeper's Daughter" by Kim Edwards. It was a #1 New York Times Bestseller.
Anyone read that one? |

Moozle brought that one up when we were at the pool. I think it sounds great. I'm open to anything though.

Memory Keeper's Daughter!! That's the one I brought up at the pool - Kristi, my friend read it for book club and said it was great. A definite tear jerker though.

My MIL told me it was awesome and I was in the book store yesterday and it was sitting there so I grabbed it.
If we don't decide on it for the book club I'm going to sneak it in between books and read it anyway. Just call me a reading fool over here. LOL |

Memory Keeper's Daughter is a great book--it has lots of discussion points.
Kristi, that's so cool that you interviewed Dubus--I loved House of Sand and Fog. Did you interview him for that book? |

Yes, it was right before he went on Oprah for that book. Great book, huh?
