  5. Thanks for the comments and great book suggestions! I have chosen two books at random (out of a hat!) to vote on:

    - The Glass Room by Simon Mawer
    - Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson

    If you would make a comment for your final selection and then we can begin reading and discussing. I will provide questions if they are available. We will also promote the book club in our monthly newsletter and alumni magazine, Profile. Happy Reading!

  7. I vote for Three Cups of Tea as well. It looks intriguing, and the "one child at a time" hooked me. Thanks!
