Top 6 books South Floridians are talking about... in libraries

The most devout book lovers in South Florida can be found in libraries, especially library book clubs. Scouring through dozens of titles of library book club selections and library staff picks, I found only six books that were picked two or more times by "library heads." By far, the most selected book was Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese. It's being discussed from Palm Beach to Miami-Dade. See the list below for the other hot books.
If you just can't bear reading 250+ pages just to join your local book club jamboree or if you simply want to impress your favorite librarian by "reading" their personal staff pick by the time you see them again, remember, Audible.com has digiaudios for quick download! Just click the title(s) in the list below to hear audio samples.
