April 30, 2008 - American Cream

Eight of us gathered at my house for our discussion of the novel American Cream, by local author Catherine Tudish.

It was our very first pot luck. Naturally, I served soup, and I provided some veggies and dip. We ended up with lots of bread and many cookies but also sushi and chick pea salad. It was definitely easy for me, and everyone thought it worked out. One suggestion for the future is to let the hostess know what you plan to bring, so we can be sure to cover all the bases.

We had a really nice discussion of the book. I believe everyone liked it, but we had varying reactions to the main character's actions. It's the sign of good literature that we can understand the characters differently, don't you think?
