Family and friends meet here to discuss the New York Times Best Books of 2007
Welcome to the Family and Friends Book Club
This coming year we will use this blog site to stay in touch and to share our thoughts about the New York Times Best Books of 2007. Here is our list of books for the year and the names of members who will be reading those books in January. Remember to send or deliver to the next person on the list on or near the 25th of each month.
Imperial Life in the Emerald City-- Sandy Rice
Little Heathens: Hard Times and High Spirits on an Iowa Farm During the Great Depression-- Kathy Harber
Man Gone Down-- Perky and Wallace Daniel
Out Stealing Horses-- Pearl McHaney
The Ordeal of Elizabeth Marsh: A Woman in World History-- Gretchen Fry
The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court-- Tim Fry
The Rest is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century-- Molly Krava
The Savage Detectives-- Jessie Hayden
Then We Came to the End-- Steve Hayden
Tree of Smoke-- Moe and Debby Miller
Al Capone Does My Shirts-- Meredith and Matt Ritchie
Did anyone get all the way through it? I am at about 150 and trying to decide whether or not to keep going. Interesting but a tough slog of fiction and hard to know whether the payoff will be worth it.
