If you’re a book club member, have you ever wondered what other clubs are reading? I’m often asked this question when a club is trying to decide what to read next. With the end of the year approaching, I thought it might be interesting to go through my notes and see what the most popular book club choices in Westport were this year. On Beauty by Zadie Smith, a story of two radically different families and the Westport READS selection, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon were read by more clubs than any other books this year. Close runners-up were The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion, The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri, and March by Geraldine Brooks, the story of an idealistic chaplain during the Civil War. What was your club’s favorite choice this year? What book led to a great discussion?
