SUMMARY:Book Club - Table for Two by Amor Towles
DESCRIPTION:Join a discussion of  Table for Two by Amor Towles \nMillions of Amor Towles fans are in for a treat as he shares some of his shorter fiction: six stories based in New York City and a novella set in Golden Age Hollywood. \nThe New York stories\, most of which take place around the year 2000\, consider the fateful consequences that can spring from brief encounters and the delicate mechanics of compromise that operate at the heart of modern marriages. Told from seven points of view\, “Eve in Hollywood” describes how one of Towles’s most beloved characters\, the indomitable Evelyn Ross from Rules of Civility\, crafts a new future for herself—and others—in a noirish tale that takes us through the movie sets\, bungalows\, and dive bars of 1930s Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Book Club - My Year of Meats by Ruth Ozeki
DESCRIPTION:A cross-cultural tale of two women brought together by the intersections of television and industrial agriculture\, fertility and motherhood\, life and love. Ruth Ozeki’s mesmerizing debut novel has captivated readers and reviewers worldwide. When documentarian Jane Takagi-Little finally lands a job producing a Japanese television show that just happens to be sponsored by an American meat-exporting business\, she uncovers some unsavory truths about love\, fertility\, and a dangerous hormone called DES. Soon she will also cross paths with Akiko Ueno\, a beleaguered Japanese housewife struggling to escape her overbearing husband. Hailed by USA Today as “rare and provocative” and awarded the Kirayama Prize for Literature of the Pacific Rim\, My Year of Meats is a modern-day take on Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle for fans of Michael Pollan\, Margaret Atwood\, and Barbara Kingsolver.

SUMMARY:Book Club - Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean by Edward Kritzler
DESCRIPTION:Member’s residence in Trumbull\n\nAt the end of the fifteenth century\, the Spanish Inquisition forced many Jews to flee the country. The most adventurous among them took to the high seas as freewheeling outlaws. In ships bearing names such as the Prophet Samuel\, Queen Esther\, and Shield of Abraham\, they attacked and plundered the Spanish fleet while forming alliances with other European powers to ensure the safety of Jews living in hiding. \nJEWISH PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN is the entertaining saga of a hidden chapter in Jewish history and of the cruelty\, terror\, and greed that flourished during the Age of Discovery. Readers will meet such daring figures as “the Great Jewish Pirate” Sinan\, Barbarossa’s second-in-command; the pirate rabbi Samuel Palache\, who founded Holland’s Jewish community; Abraham Cohen Henriques\, an arms dealer who used his cunning and economic muscle to find safe havens for other Jews; and his pirate brother Moses\, who is credited with the capture of the Spanish silver fleet in 1628–the largest heist in pirate history. Filled with high-sea adventures—including encounters with Captain Morgan and other legendary pirates—and detailed portraits of cities stacked high with plunder\, such as Port Royal\, Jamaica\, JEWISH PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN captures a gritty and glorious era of history from an unusual and eye-opening perspective.
