What great turnout last night (both old friends and new faces) for a rousing discussion of Tree of Smoke! Whether you liked it or hated it, I'm glad you came and showed once again, I think, that our best discussions come from books that are less than universally loved. That said, I also recognize that 600+ pages is a big commitment, so thank you for taking the time with it to form an opinion.
As I mentioned, our next meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 11th and we'll be discussing The Sportswriter, by Richard Ford. While I've read several of Ford's books, I haven't read this particular one but it's been on my list for a while. He's a New England based writer and I anticipate this should slot in nicely with some of our previous reads (Salter, Russo, Boyd, Eggers, etc.)
Hope to see you all there.
