Throwback Thursdays

Every Thursday, we will be adding a blast from the past book!

These are all chosen from member suggestions but are not required group reading.

This gives members the opportunity to share some of their favorite re-reads with all of us.

Our first throwback is Still Life with Woodpecker.

Looking forward to more suggestions and great discussions!


Still Life with Woodpecker is a sort of a love story that takes place inside a pack of Camel cigarettes. It reveals the purpose of the moon, explains the difference between criminals and outlaws, examines the conflict between social activism and romantic individualism, and paints a portrait of contemporary society that includes powerful Arabs, exiled royalty, and pregnant cheerleaders. It also deals with the problem of redheads.
