After lengthy thought and debate, a decision has been made, Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard
the first novel of Kiran Desai. This is the book, the book that will revive us! Honestly there were a number of books that I contemplated throwing up all over this blog, although none of them are here are they? I finally found this book it practically landed in my lap. It's about a young man trying to escape the realities of adulthood, just like Robbie. Also it's a short read, 200 pages long, so I'm hoping all of you in "Med" school and such will have time to read it. Oh did I mention it's classified YA, not NA for those of you that don't know what that stands for its young adult, and non-alcoholic respectively. We are expanding what some "Graduate" students might call the diversity of this book club, and we are doing it monthly. Be finished with this book by Thanksgiving. For those of you that are going to be in Oakland for the holiday we can have a REAL book club meeting!
Happy reading to all.

Hey, it's working! I read three whole chapters last night. I was really losing my confidence with reading, but this might be a comeback for me.
