September 3 - Time Traveler's Wife and Big Russ & Me

A small group gathered at Darla's to discuss The Time Traveler's Wife and Big Russ & Me. Most of us didn't make it through the latter, so we mainly talked about the former, which we all seemed to like, some confusion and complaints about structure notwithstanding. (The author's device of stating the age of the protagonist at the beginning of each chapter didn't go over well with everyone.) We also did our usual "here's a book I liked" talk, with many pens flying to write down titles.

Darla served us two delicious soups, the recipes for which she promised to share: Mexican tortellini and potato cheddar. Jean brought a yummy veggie salad, and Lisa's trifle for dessert rounded a delightful meal. Thanks to the cooks!
