Those We Have Conquered...

The Help by Kathryn Stockett (July 27, 2010; Kilper's)
Wonderful, incredible story that brought us all together. Every book since has been downhill (only my humble opinion)...

Super Sad True Love Story by Gary Shteyngart (September 16, 2010; Gifford's)
Debate on whether this should be classified hard or soft porn, either way, would not recommend to your pastor. Overall though, thought provoking qualities and a very VERY lively discussion.

Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen (October 3, 2010; Rajchart's)
Circus elephants and a scandalous story...I think we agree it should make a great movie. Inklings movie night to be planned accordingly.

Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe (December 13, 2010; Levett's)
A few of you hardcore members made it through this one, God love you. It will be awhile before we do another classic.

Deep Survival by Laurence Gonzales (January 24, 2011; Sainato's)
Reading response was, again, pathetic. Who could blame us? We did learn that Karianne is a survivor and you should at least read the last 4 pages of this book if you are going to be venturing into the wilderness alone in the near future.

Great House: A Novel by Nicole Krauss (March TBD, 2011; Gaby's)
Comments pending...

Shanghai Girls by Lisa See (April TBD 2011; Roger's)
Comments pending...
