Which Books Worked Well?

All. We've never had a book that everyone hated. We pick a variety of books and have a democratic vote annually to pick our books. We may reject a great book because too many people read it or we may pick a book where none are available in the library system. Each book is picked on its individual merits. We picked 15 books at our December 2012 meeting, so we are set until March of 2014.
