December Meeting:
Ladies the elves are busy finishing our bathroom and entrance renovation just in time for our holiday book club. No matter what, you are all welcome to come to 3 Paddington Place on Monday December 7th at 7:00pm. Depending on the state of the reno there may be a tree to place your $20.00(the result of the poll) gift under. Remember no gift cards allowed this year. I will be cooking a meal worthy of the celebrities in Barbara's book. Looking forward to seeing you all and sharing good conversation and the holiday spirit. Let me know if you are able to make it and I add you to the VIP guest list, as well be sure to sit you next to Frank, Matt or Will Smith....
This site supports the planning and management of hosting, book choices and facilitating for the members of the College Street Book Club

Malcolm Gladwell Disrobed
This weekend the New York Times published a scathing review of Malcolm Gladwell's latest book and commented on his previous books. Christine --- you are in good company.

DECEMBER BOOK CLUB SELECTION
Apologies again -- I did indeed read the list as if I was to select IN December, not FOR December.
So I have chosen an autobiography that I think would make for a fascinating read and good conversation.
AUDITION: A Memoir - By Barbara Walters
Though looking at the details on Chapters (released 2008 so likely on sale) I just saw its a big book - 600 pages!- so if there are any objections to the length let me know asap! I figure its the type of book that you dont need to finish to "know" the ending so perhaps we don't mind?
