11/20/2021

Post recommendations for our 'Book of the Month' for December in the comments. Get them in by Saturday, November 27th at 2:00 pm MT so they may be included in the survey. The survey will be available at 3:00 pm.

With Christmas (and New Year's) falling on Saturdays this year, we will only meet three times in December. Thus, it is suggested that you suggest a book of short stories.

A Model World and Other Stories - Michael Chabon

(I cannot find a decent review)

- OR -

Werewolves in Their Youth - Michael Chabon

The author of Wonder Boys returns with a powerful and wonderfully written collection of stories. Caught at moments of change, Chabon's men and women, children and husbands and wives, all face small but momentous decisions. They are caught in events that will crystallize and define their lives forever, and with each, Michael Chabon brings his unique vision and uncanny understanding of our deepest mysteries and our greatest fears.
