Our first meeting of 2012 is next Thursday, January 26 at 7:30PM. Even if you haven't read, "Suite Francaise" but would like to come and mix and mingle with the group, come on by. We have great discussions. We rotate who chooses the book each month so we have a variety of perspectives and interests represented. 2011 was a great success for Snapdragon Inn's Literary Club.  We were taken on journeys all around the world across diverse settings and time periods. Certainly, a hi-light of the year was having Abraham Verghese,  join our conversation via phone back in April as we discussed his book, "Cutting for Stone".

Is there a book you have been itching to read? Make a list and bring it to the meeting. Here's to more great books and great discussions in the Maxwell Perkins library this 2012!

Just curious? What was your favorite?
