: Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
Several of us in our Fiction book club decided we wanted to read and discuss Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. I haven't read it since high school (this is Joy) and I'm looking forward to seeing what my adult self thinks of this book that I loved in high school. If you want an excuse to read or re-read a classic, you've got some time. We will meet to discuss on Wednesday, January 17 at 5 pm over happy hour at Kenichi's.

A Gentleman In Moscow
  by  Amor Towles 
 
In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, and is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel's doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery.

The Undoing Project: A Friendship that Changed Our Minds 
by Michael Lewis

We're skipping December, which means you have lots of time to read The Undoing Project.
  Forty years ago, Israeli psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky wrote a series of breathtakingly original studies which showed the ways the human mind erred, systematically, when forced to make judgments in uncertain situations. Their work created the field of behavioral economics, revolutionized Big Data studies, advanced evidence-based medicine, and led to a new approach to government regulation.

Four Corners: A Journey Through the Heart of Papua New Guinea   
by Kira Salak
 
At the age of twenty-four, Kira Salak took a three-month solo trip across Papua New Guinea, making her the first woman to have traversed the whole country. She navigated the island by dugout canoe and on foot, stayed in a village where people still practice cannibalism, and met the leader of the separatist guerrilla movement. Reading more like a thriller than a travel memoir, Four Corners is compulsive armchair travel at its very best.
