How about Divisadero by Michael Ondaatje (The English Patient). Check it out and let me know what you think. I brought it back so I'm good to go if you're interested.
BTW, on my last trip to Costco my eye caught The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz. Never heard anything about it but it won a Pulitzer so I figured how bad can it be. It's actually pretty amusing so far (just started this afternoon). It's one of the few instances of a book with long footnotes that are funny. But not particularly relevant for a book club.
Anyone interested in considering something by TC Boyle? I'm thinking about Talk, Talk. I really enjoyed Drop City. Enough that I'm willing to try something else.

Hi all
I do want to read this book but I am committed to reading 3 or 4 other books first. Ed, I got a book on the Talmud and find it fascinating. I would like to see us tackle the 5 great religions (Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam) and really have some heated discussions. Does anyone realize how wonderfully weird Hinduism is?
