October 2010

Sue's choice was Buster Midnight's Cafe by Sandra Dallas and we gave it 3 1/2 stars.  We lunched at Granato's in downtown Salt Lake City at 1391 S 300 W.  We were joined by Linda, our new member, and now our group is up to seven fun girls.  We missed meeting with Karen and Holly today but had a great discussion about the nature of friendship and how far you stand by your friends when they make wrong choices.  We decided that we have each other's backs no matter what.  A comforting thought.

Sue says: I loved this book. The narrator is hilarious and I could hear her talking while reading and just imagine her. The story is so interesting, but the characters are great. (Liked it just as well the second time-love the voice of Effa Commander and the comments of Whippy Bird; also love the friendship that endures their whole lives) 

Karen says: Sue declared we needed some lighter reading in our book club this month, and Buster Midnight's Cafe fit the bill perfecty. Fun characters and an interesting story line. And who in the world could come up with people named: Whippy Bird and Effa Commander?

Current roster: Natalie, Alison, Leslie, Holly, Sue, Karen, and Linda
