It's with reluctance that I have to admit that this is probably the wake-up call I needed. I think this has the makings of a great book group, but sadly not one that fits my reading parameters. I hope this doesn't sound like sour grapes, because it isn't. I think the process worked well, that the outcome is good and if I hoped for a final slate with a little more minority appeal, well, that's the way the cookie crumbles. No reason I can't drop by if a selection looks good to me.
