The book I recommended for the last reading group meeting went down like the Titanic. I guess the Titanic went down quite spectacularly and over a couple of hours. My book went down faster and with much more ignominy.
The book was A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters by Julian Barnes. A great book, but not according to the Reading Group. There was even a vote by text that managed to slaughter the novel in less than 160 characters.
Oh well, I had better not recommend anything for a while and hope that everyone forgets that I crashed and burned so badly.
For next month I need to read State of the Union by Douglas Kennedy, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and I need to see Nacho Libre at the movies.
