I vote for "White Noise" by Don DeLillo just because I haven't ready anything of his before. I have read a couple books by Cormac, and, of course, they are excellent. I also enjoy mysteries and have read many of the Henning/Wallander ones. Another good "literary" mystery writer is Josephine Tey. I see no reason why we could not include a good mystery in the book club, as long as we avoid lurid thrillers. There are plenty of very well written mysteries.

Eggplant Parmesan
Saute gently for 1 - 2 minutes: two or three cloves of minced garlic in a good olive oil, with 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes, 1 tsp. each of dried oregano and basil. Add one cup of decent white wine, bring to a gentle boil for 10 - 12 minutes. Add one 28 oz. can of recipe ready diced tomatoes (I use the one with added Italian herbs). Again, GENTLY, cook for 20 minutes. You can thicken with a tablespoon of corn starch or flour mixed with a small amount of the sauce and then added back into the pan, if desired.
Cut eggplant into halves (if small) or into thick slices, brush with olive oil, and broil 5 minutes or so. Sometimes I put a thin slice of Swiss cheese on the eggplant and then broil.
Top with sauce and freshly grated Parmesan.
