We started with six members and an ambitious reading list that included Honore de Balzac's &ldquo;Cousin Bette,&rdquo; Franz Kafka's &ldquo;The Trial,&rdquo; Thomas Mann's &ldquo;The Magic Mountain,&rdquo; James Joyce's &ldquo;A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man&rdquo; and Stendhal's &ldquo;The Red and the Black.&rdquo; We now have 15 members who live in the northern suburbs. Our daughters love books; two are founding members of a Chicago book club. In 2005 we organized a book drive for U.S. soldiers stationed in Afghanistan.
