Main Book Club

This book club was started by two friends who had been in book clubs for years and have brought what has worked in and kept what hasn't worked out - a sort of hybrid bookclub, if you will.  We make an effort to choose books that have been out long enough to have library copies without huge waiting lists.  This is the list what we'e read and what we're reading:
