We will meet on May 10, 2012 at Drew's bungalow in the Heights to discuss The Possessed: Adventures with Russian Books and the People Who Read Them, and is another selection in our series of books on the topic of "Russia."
We held April's meeting at Sylvia's home in the clouds, in the fashionable Kirby district. The Norwegian beauty demonstrated the superlative graciousness that comes so naturally to her. Dinner was resplendent with a salmon that could easily feed about ten people or so. I found the creamy salmon sauce with its subtle hint of citrus flavoring especially inspired.
We all liked Lawrence Scott Sheets book "8 Pieces of Empire" which chronicles the twenty years following the breakup of the Soviet Union. I think most of us found his writing to be very good, and his courage in the conduct of his job was praiseworthy. This was most definitely a great selection. John R. opined that it was one of the best selections that we've ever had.
Spasibo, y'all!
