Since this comment requires some thought before we meet, I'm entering it as a post so that all of us are sure to see it.

Food for thought:Since there are some "summer reads" I've been looking forward to, I won't be able to read those AND book club selections. I will probably not attend the next 2-3 months so that I can focus on some other things. If I'm not the only one wanting to take a break, I propose we do something that would take less personal time but still would be a meaningful book club meeting. We could have 1 month where people select 2-3 poems from their favorite poet(s) to share with the group, as well as a bit about the poet. Another meeting could be the same with essays. There are many wonderful books of essays and poetry out there that are often overlooked. And then there are the short stories, some by prominent authors, others unknown. How do these compare with their larger works?
