I think the PBCS is dead. There may be another bookclub, but it will not be this bookclub. So, the books we read are:

Under the Volcano - Malcolm Lowery (Patrick)
Midnight's Children - Salmon Rushdie (Anne)

Ada, or Ardor - Vladimir Nabokov (Patrick)
The History of Love - Nicole Krauss (Anne)
The Stranger - Albert Camus (James)
Inheritance of Loss - Kiran Desai (Maggie)
Children of Men - PD James (Kathrin)
The Sea - John Banville (Jerusha)
Miss Lonelyhearts and Day of the Locust - Nathaniel West (Patrick)
Revolutionary Road - Richard Yates (Anne)
The Long Goodbye - Raymond Chandler (Devin)
Lucky Jim - Kingsley Amis (James)
Dud Avocado - Elaine Dundy (Maggie)
The Leopard - Giuseppe di Lampedusa (Patrick)
The Sheltering Sky - Paul Bowles (Devin)
American Gods - Neil Gaiman (James)
Madame Bovary - Gustave Flaubert (Maggie)

A fitting tombstone: for my birthday Devin gave me an awesome old copy of Under the Volcano, our first book and one of the best ones we read, that he inscribed with PBCS-abelia and illustrated with themes from UTV. Check it out:
