I think I've come up with the 2010 reading list for the Arts & Culture Book Club! Like this year, I tried to include books that cover a broad spectrum of arts and cultures. For those couple of books whose titles are not obvious indicators of their contents, here are brief descriptions.
Thieves of Baghdad by Matthew Bogdanos is about the theft of art and antiquities from the Iraq National Museum during the American invasion.
The Painted Kiss: A Novel by Elizabeth Hickey is our only novel for 2010. It is the author's first novel and is the story of the relationship between Gustav Klimt and his young lover, "whose name he pronounced with his dying breath." (Publishers Weekly)
I have included a link to amazon.com in the book list, in case you want to check out the book reviews. Please let me know if you have any comments!
