Below is a list of all the titles we have read, since fall 2002 when our book club started through 2009.
Some books we loved, some we hated (actually hated), some we were not able to finish. The books noted with an * indicate we either loved the book or had a wonderful discussion and we highly recommend. Please remember a discussion worthy book doesn't mean you will love it (but you won't hate it).
