Bookclub on the Blog: November, December and January Selections

Posted by the EPL Bookclub

A Visit From the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan.  This is the first fiction book we've read with a PowerPoint chapter!  It is a very inventive, challenging read and has a log to say about relationships in the modern world. Selected as one of the New York Times best books of 2010.

The Marriage Bureau for Rich People by Farahad Zama.  This debut novel is set around a thriving arranged-marriage bureau in contemporary India.  A very light, quick read, but fun.

Any title by Daniel Woodrell.  The author, Ozark born and bred, is true to his roots fictionalizing the characters, tragedies and comedies his has witnessed.  The reader feels as though he has truly experienced a hair-raising visit to the Ozarks.
