The current one is Love in the Time of Cholera, which I am enjoying. Before that was Memoirs of Cleopatra (the brick).
I think part of the problem is that we never seem to set a date. It used to be that our meetings were on the first Tuesday of the month. Now it's so random that I never know when the meeting is, and I merrily read whatever I want to read, and then someone sends an e-mail saying "Hey, how does this Wendesday sound for the next meeting?" Meanwhile, I've been reading Middlesex, and Love in the Time of Cholera has been sitting in my "to be read" pile, unopened.
Also, the books we've been reading lately are so serious (with the exception of Kafka's Soup). Just to go against the grain, my suggestion for the next book is A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore!
