Happy New Year everyone!

We received a good number of votes for "Everything is Illuminated" by Jonathan Safran Foer '99, and so it will be the first book of hopefully many in 2015. Sev Onyshkevych '83 recommended the book, the description of which is included below, and so he has agreed to lead the meeting.

We will meet on Tuesday, February 3rd at 7pm in the Class of 1952 Room in Frist Campus Center.

Looking forward to seeing familiar faces, and hopefully some new, at the meeting!

Everything is Illuminated: by Jonathan Safran Foer '99 (author of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close). Jonathan Safran Foer, a young American Jew, journeys to Ukraine in search of Augustine, the woman who saved his grandfather's life during the Nazi liquidation of Trachimbrod, his family shtetl. Armed with maps, cigarettes and many copies of an old photograph of Augustine and his grandfather, Jonathan begins his adventure with Ukrainian native and soon-to-be good friend, Alexander "Alex" Perchov, who is Foer's age and very fond of American pop culture, albeit culture that is already out of date in the United States. Alex studied English at his university, and even though his knowledge of the language is not "first-rate", he becomes the translator. Alex's "blind" grandfather and his "deranged seeing-eye bitch," Sammy Davis, Jr., Jr., accompany them on their journey. (from Wikipedia) (Recommended by Sev Onyshkevych)
