The December meeting of the Shrinking Violets' Book Club took place this past weekend at my house, and since both the location and the reading (W.G. Sebald's Rings of Saturn) originated with my suggestion, it seems a bit self-serving to go into too much detail. I'll just summarize the event by saying that Sebald's genre-mixing novel was well received by the few who attended, and it sparked a considerable amount of discussion both directly and loosely related to the reading, which seems somehow fitting given the nature of Sebald's writing.
Next month's read is Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen.
I LOVE W.G. Sebald! I read Austerlitz in college and enjoyed it thoroughly. How cool you hosted the Violets at your house!
