The Algonquin Round Table Meeting at Not Your Average Joe's

Bookclub night! We decided to mix it up this month - not only did we meet in a restaurant but we didn't all read the same book. We had a free form Summer reading month. Bill implied that we were cheating in some way this month but I set him straight with the explanation that this format was called a "Salon". Sounds so intellectual. And I can assure you - it was.

When it comes time to pick the next book we always struggle - often taking more time to pick it than we do to discuss it! This month we left the selection up to chance...and our waitress who was asked to just pick up one of three books on the table. (She chose my nomination, Brooklyn by Colm Toibin).
