Help Complete the Book Club's Reading List

Gentlemen, this blog takes us back to February of this year. I'd like to complete the list of books that we read prior to reading Curt Brown's So Terrible a Storm. Here's what I have:

A Beautiful Life
The Man in the Yellow Sharkskin Suit
My Father's . . . (the book about the writer's Kurdish Jewish father and Aramaic language)

Do you remember any other books (or more complete/accurate book titles)? Use the comment feature, and once I have all of them, I'll create a posting with the complete list.

5 January 2010


The book for January 5 is Dame Rebecca West's The Return of the Soldier. A couple of us have had a hard time getting the book at a bookstore or our local libraries, so you might want to check www.bn.com or www.amazon.com, where you'll find inexpensive used copies (I just ordered mine today - 2 December 2009). We'll be meeting at Steve Beck's home.

Gentlemen, my Barnes and Noble order just arrived. I bought the book used for $1.79 (it's never been opened). It's more novella than novel - only 77 pages.
