They liked "The Kite Runner"
Mom's book group was just written up in the Register Guard. Journalist Karen McCowan, in uncharacteristically cheesy fashion, says "If you want to vicariously capture the spirit of their discussion, pour yourself a cup of cider, settle into a comfortable chair and weigh your feelings about the book against theirs."My only experience with the group was several years ago when they rejected my suggestion of No Exit. (Come on, it's short!)

I'm thinking more along the lines of hard liquor and prideful despair. It's hard to fuel a sustainable social gathering on hard liquor =o)
