Motherless Brooklyn by Jonathan Lethem as chosen by Karen (even though she didn't do so well when she chose Lethem's As She Climbed Across the Table.).

Tim: A-
Highest grade I've ever given.

Mike: B+
Probably pretty good for a mystery.

Katie: B-
I just didn't care about the character or the plot.

Catherine: C
Our discussion always makes me like it more -- but still. . . I didn't like any of the characters.

Karen: A-
I liked th characters -- and I found it fascinating to be in the hero's mind.

Jessica: B
I didn't think it's as good as the last few books we've read.

The Holly Golightly of the book was Kimmery.

The Apu was the guy who sold sandwiches at the deli.
