More books to consider

Here are a couple more titles for our "maybe" list:
Cleopatra: A Life (has been getting great reviews)
Too Much Happiness by Alice Munro. This is a collection of short stories, and the author is a master of this genre. We haven't read a short story collection in a very long time.

We Need to Talk About Kevin

I'm looking forward to our discussion. I'd love to talk about whether or not this should be considered a feminist book, whether someone who does not have children can authentically represent the mother experience, whether a child can really be evil from birth, how effective the writer's language is in telling the story. Your questions?
