Books To Read

So at January's very adventurous meeting, I thought I would take down a list of the books that everyone mentioned...in case anyone was feeling very adventurous and wanted to read something in addition to February's book. Cut to tonight and as I look over to the desk to post this and copy down the list and the darn thing is no where to be found. Nevermind that I have seen it almost everyday since the meeting and that my "To Do" list that was right with it is still there...oh well. Let's make the list together!

I'll start: (I'm so pathetic when it comes to memory games. My apologies.)

• Little Bee by Chris Cleave
• The Reader by Bernhard Schlink
  
• World War Z by Max Brooks
• a poetry collection
• a short story collection

...that's all I got. Lame, I know.
