	Nancy's Pick- Noah's Compass by Anne Tyler   Few authors write with such insight and clarity about the everyday lives of ordinary people as well as Anne Tyler.  Her novels  keep me eagerly turning the pages as though I was reading a thriller.

	Sharon's Pick- Supreme Courtship by Christopher  Buckley : Read by Anne Heche   An extremely satirical look at Washington DC and the politics of partisanship. The president is a down to earth man who only plans on one term so he can get things done without worrying about being reelected. His  two very capable Supreme Court nominees  are derailed by a vindictive Senator from Connecticut so he gets his revenge by nominating a popular female television judge.  I enjoyed this so much I found myself  driving all over just to listen to the book.
	Jan's Pick- The Hadrian Memorandum by Allan Folsom   Nicholas Martin in a former LAPD detective now living in England. He gets a call from the President of the US (POTUS), whose life he saved in a previous adventure. The President asks Marten to investigate native rebels in West Africa to see if they are being financed by a US based  oil company. The story is fast paced from the minute the POTUS calls until the end.
	Vance's Pick- Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell   This book is a great collage of randomness that is cohesive in its presentation. There is a method to Gladwell’s madness. And that method teaches us the real reason why some of us are so successful. Yes the long long hours (10,000 to be exact) of practice, but also the things you can’t control like where and when you born. For example 13 of the 50 richest people in HUMAN HISTORY were born within 3 years of each other.   What gives? Read and find out.
