  4. Chicagoland book club: 43 years after the big snow

    <strong> <a style="float: left;" href="http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/.a/6a00d834518cc969e20134849e7335970c-pi"><img style="margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; width: 345px; height: 228px;" title="Bookclub" src="http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/.a/6a00d834518cc969e20134849e7335970c-800wi" border="0" alt="Bookclub" /></a> Things to know about our book club: </strong>Our book club began in Glenview during the big snow in 1967 when two mothers, snowed in with young children, decided to organize a neighborhood book club for much-needed intellectual stimulation. We started with six members and an ambitious reading list that included Honore de Balzac's &ldquo;Cousin Bette,&rdquo; Franz Kafka's &ldquo;The Trial,&rdquo; Thomas Mann's &ldquo;The Magic Mountain,&rdquo; James Joyce's &ldquo;A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man&rdquo; and Stendhal's &ldquo;The Red and the Black.&rdquo; We now have 15 members who live in the northern suburbs. Our daughters love books; two are founding members of a Chicago book club. In 2005 we organized a book drive for U.S. soldiers stationed in Afghanistan.

  6. Chicagoland book club

    <b>Things to know about our club:</b> Women Who Read has been in existence for 14 years, beginning as a small group of co-workers who then brought along friends and neighbors. We're a diverse group, with careers ranging from artist to scientist, but our love of reading joins us. As far as our book choices, we try to include at least one classic and one nonfiction book each year. The rest are selected by consensus. Our monthly meeting location rotates between our homes, but we have two special meetings. One is during the summer, when we combine our discussion with a garden tour in one member's lovely yard. The other is in December, when we are treated to a special Christmas wonderland in a fabulously decorated home. The highlight is a wrapped book exchange, where we draw names and give books we wish someone would give us &#8212; or ones we've read and loved. Recently, Justine Vaughn, a key member and the hostess of our annual Christmas celebration, passed away after a battle with cancer.

    What do you get when you cross a bunch of award-winning authors, The Byrds' Roger McGuinn, a literacy charity and a few pints? An on-again, off-again band called the Rock Bottom Remainders. In the literary world, "remainders" are poorly selling titles in...
