Book club II (ongoing) / Michael Ondaatje - Divisadero (extremely belated)

Of course, the other one's still going, in fits and starts, and possibly somewhat against the odds given its origins in MS, but nonetheless! The ledger so far (all dates approx.):

• The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (July 2006 - at Bluestone)
  
• Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell & Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote (October or maybe November 2006; a split book club after voting divided the then members almost right down the middle - at Lounge upstairs)
  
• Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides (March 2007 - at Aloi Na)
  
• Divisadero by Michael Ondaatje (late 2007 - at Nicolette's)
  
• Bonjour Tristesse by Francoise Sagan (March 2008 - at Breizoz (the creperie on Gertrude St))
  
• An Arsonist's Guide to Writers' Homes in New England by Brock Clarke (August 2008 - at Nicolette's)

Next up, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.

In its current incarnation, the other members are basically Nicolette (convenor), Tamara, Kathleen and Bec P...

Also, it seems I never wrote up Divisadero! It was so long ago now that many of the details elude me, but I did like it. I recall it as being rather literary (Stendhal references and all), but also pretty real - genuine characters and emotional impact and all that, and with mood to burn, too.
