Questions: July and August Meetings

Our meeting in July is on Thursday the 19th. We chose to read Digging to America by Anne Tyler. The August meeting will be on Thursday the 16th. Since no title was chosen for August, why don't we all just plan to share with the group what we are currently reading. It does not need to be an elaborate presentation; you don't even need to have finished reading the book, article, short story, etc. Just share what it is, why you like or dislike it, and maybe to whom it would appeal.
We did put off reading Devil in the White City by Erik Larson because it is long. What about doing it in September? There are 12 copies in the library system, and there is lots of time. Yes? No? Other choices?
