BISTRO BOOKERS
June Event
Date: June 3, 2008
Title: The Nine
Author: Jeffrey Toobin
Reviewer:
E. Jeannette Ogden
Buffalo City Court Judge
Overview of Book:
Based on exclusive interviews with the justices themselves, The Nine tells the story of the Court through personalities - from Anthony Kennedy's overwhelming sense of self-importance to Clarence Thomas' well-tended grievances against his critics to David Souter's odd nineteenth-century lifestyle. There is also, for the first time, the full behind-the-scenes story of Bush v. Gore - and Sandra Day O'Connor's fateful breach with George W. Bush, the president she helped place in office.

In 1990, Bistro Bookers was born. Under the guidance
of the B.L.O.O.M. Group (Book Lovers Of Our Metropolis) the downtown after hours book
review/discussion forum was created to encourage the discussion of current provocative
nonfiction written by national and local authors interspersed with fiction from Buffalo-area authors.
Several times a year these programs attract kindred spirits to local
sponsoring bistros for some drinks, snacks, expert presentations, lively give-and-take . .
. plus dinner and more conversation.
So what does it take to be part of Bistro Bookers? A
desire for a casual, uncomplicated, stimulating night out. You're invited . . . Open to
all. No reservations are required.
