The MPL book discussion groups just finished reading The Power of the Dog by Thomas Savage. We had lively discussions and many group members truly embraced this often overlooked Montana classic.
Some of our other favorites have been Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma, Erik Larson's The Devil in the White City, and Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky.
Tell us about your book club. Do you belong to a regular, semi-regular, or multiple book clubs? Do you have a theme for your group (mysteries, non-fiction, dinner & discussion, etc.)? What have been some of your groups favorite titles?
The MPL book groups meet on the second Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm and the second Thursday of the month 10:00 am.
By the way, if you also loved Thomas Savage's The Power of the Dog, the library will be holding a Thomas Savage panel discussion on Tuesday, May 20 at 7:00 pm in conjunction with the Out at the Library exhibit sponsored by San Francisco Public Library.

Greetings,
We noticed that you were discussing book clubs in your blog. We have started a new online book club website where people can choose books, invite friends, and read and discuss books together. We are hoping for it to become an educational tool, and an online social space.
It's all pretty new and we are interested in having some people join, give it a try, and give us feedback on how they like it. Also, as we noticed that you have a blog, we are looking to see if anyone would like to review the site for us (good or bad) so we can get constructive feedback.
You can get there at:
