It's June! This means that we discuss a book hand-selected from the list by Rebecca.

The last time she did this, she selected The Book of Illusions, a novel she had never read that was written by a novelist she admires. She took a wholly different approach this time: couple the desire to read a writer she had never experienced before with the realization that we almost never read books by women. The end result was Play It As It Lays by Joan Didion. Considered one of the classic "Los Angeles novels", the nihilistic content of this book certainly left us with much to discuss.
