My book group selected the slate of books for the year... here they are:

1) Just What Kind of Mother Are You? by Paula Daly
2) The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson
3) The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
4) Blind Date With A Book: anonymous book swap
5) Lucky Us by Amy Bloom
6) The Martian by Andy Weir
7) Orphan Train by Christine Baker Kline
8) The Crane Wife by Patrick Ness
9) Still Life With Breadcrumbs by Anna Quindlen

and maybe 10) A Christmas Memory by Truman Capote if the holiday spirit moves us

The Alchemist used to be my go-to gift for graduations or any other "fork in the road" life event.

I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on The Martian. I've not read it yet, but my Mom loved it.
