    "So many books, so little time!"  


    Who thought that retirement would bring hours for uninterrupted reading?  The trouble is that authors keep writing and publishers keep publishing.  The new books sound so wonderful yet we have stacks and lists of books that we haven't gotten around to yet.


    The RMRT Book Club will meet from 10:30-11:30 on Saturday, January 21 in Room B216 of the convention center.  It's more of a speed-dating book talk:  your recommendations from your recent reading (or listening).  


    For the upcoming session, let's try a variation:  come prepared to talk about three books.  


    #1   Recently-published (e.g. within the last year)


    #2   Older (a book you always meant to read and finally you have)


    #3   Out of your usual reading zone (whatever those zones may be) 


    The list of recommendations will be compiled and posted.  You have five weeks!
