Fast forward to the end of 2010

I missed the meeting in December at which the talk was about THE ELEGANCE OF A HEDGEHOG. Don't know how it was enjoyed. I'm still reading it, and won't know 'til the end if I like it or not. It's not what you call... rivetting. But the protagonists do bring up more than several interesting topics for discussion. So, on to 2011. We'll be reading THE IMMORTAL LIFE OF HENRIETTA LACKS, by Rebecca Skloot. Amazon has 400 reviews already!
