Mary & Lou are members of one of my discussion groups. They read 4 or 5 books a month, choosing from a variety of genres. They are critical reviewers and excellent leaders at the book club. The third person whose opinion I value was a former book salesman who seems to understand which selections I will enjoy. He gives superb recommendations.
