Our book club plans to read “Unbroken.” I still want to tackle “Monument Men” on my own. (I saw the movie and it was wonderful.)

Thank you for sharing your selections. Happy New Year, Tom. ;-)

  Good question. It’ll either be Audre Lorde’s Zami: A New Spelling of My Name or William Golding’s Rites of Passage — I’ve not decided yet!
  
  Have a very Happy New Year.
