High school senior Andi Alpers is full of anger and sadness. The tragic death of her younger brother has wrecked her family, sending her father away, her mother into a paralyzing depression, and Andi into a state of rage and hurt so deep it feels like suicide might be the only way to relieve the pain. She tries to manage the overwhelming hurt and sense of responsibility over Truman's passing with prescription drugs, but the only thing that really helps is music.
Teaser

This NYC librarian has put together a list of books about, inspired by or featured on AMC's hit show "Mad Men," and now there's a wait list for most of the titles...
In today's post, regular contributor Denise Neary shares her review of the new movie It's Kind of a Funny Story, based on the book of the same name. Consider reading the book and then doing an outing with your book club to catch the movie.
Let’s hear it for a movie true to the book it is based on!
Earlier this week the Masters in Education website released a list of the Top 50 Book Clubs to Inspire and Learn From and guess who made the list? ReadingGroupGuides.com of course!
We are proud to be a part of such a great list whose other members include:

'Tis the fall, the FALL OF GIANTS by Ken Follett that is as the author returns with a project every bit as epic, ambitious and large (literally and figuratively) as his beloved bestseller THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH. FALL OF GIANTS, the first book in Follett's planned Century trilogy hit shelves this week, but wasn't the universal No. 1 you might assume.

I don't why I'm so full of questions this week... I guess it's because I think sometimes the best ideas we get here at RGG are from you... our readers. You are out there in the trenches (or living rooms anyway) experiencing your book clubs and having all kinds of wonderful (or strange) discussions and tons of great ideas.
As individuals, of course, we are all 100% perfect. But I think we can all acknowldedge that once you put a bunch of us together in a group things automatically get less perfect. And as smart and wonderful as all of our book club members are, there are bound to be things that drive you a little crazy.
So today, my question is... if there was one thing you could change about your book club, what would it be?
Is the time of day or day of week not quite right for you?
Is there one person who takes over every discussion that just makes you crazy?
