The New Britain Book Club

When I first joined book club, it didn't have a name, so I referred to it snidely and privately as the Democratic Women's Auxilliary. Rather a flip label, given that few, if any of us, were linked to the Democratic party simply by virtue of involvement with, or marriage to, a male Democratic.

Several of us have been elected to public office ourselves, and all of us---your Chronicler included---try to contribute to making NB a better place for the entire community. To those of us in book club, that sensibly precludes membership in the Republican Party.

For the first time, we have been organized enough to compile a book list for the year. As you can see, we even have a name, generic though it may be.

I have attached here the list of books we've chosen for 2006. Please feel free to leave comments regarding those about which you have opinions or information.
