My group read Cutting for Stone and really liked it.We also had a great discussion.We had a really interesting discussion about The Stone Diaries even though I didn’t like the book but many other people liked it. I mentioned Pat Conroy’s Beach Music as a good summer read. It was another really good discussion and a unanimous favorite.
