The 22nd Avenue Book Club read Robert Penn Warren's 1946 novel, All the King's Men, last month. At tonight's meeting we saw the 1949 movie starring Broderick Crawford as Willie Stark (and John Derek as Tom Stark!)
One of our members, Theresa, has a media room with a big wall screen, surround sound, and really comfortable seats and her house has become the unofficial movie palace for the book club. We read a book every other month. On off months we either have a party or watch a movie, often a movie adaption of the book we've just been reading.
This has been the most popular book we've read in the three and a half years the book club has existed.
