I just read a review of a new biography of Tennessee Williams which the reviewer liked a great deal. Of course, I failed to note the name of the book or the author and promptly threw the review out. I read a biography of Williams a year ago or two, and would like to read another slant on him. If I stumble across the author and title, I'll send them to you.
My daughter-in-law Pam just spent a week on business in Heidelburg (where she and John lived for more than three years) and was able to go to her book club meeting while she was there. It's a different arrangement from any book club I've heard of. They meet once a month, rotating among houses, and the host of the last meeting brings the book club tub with her, Every month each member reports on a book she has read and puts it in the tub. She then takes another book out of the tub for the next month. When everybody who wants to has read a book, it's retired and a new book is put into circulation. That sounds like a pretty nifty idea to me.
