The book thief!

I'm about a hundred pages in and loving it! When should we have it done by?

Sarah's Key

I have heard from others as WLAN that this is a terrific read. I have a copy but I haven't gotten to it yet. I would love to read it!
Too, the book I am reading right now I think many of you would enjoy. It is Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. She is the author of Seabiscuit. Unbroken is about an Olympic runner who gets drafted into the army and then becomes a prisoner of war. It is non-fiction that reads like fiction. Very, very well written.
Looking forward to Sunday!

Books for Future Reading . . . Not necessarily for the Book Club

I was doing some research, trying to expand on what authors I read since lately its been mostly Stephen King and George R.R. Martin.  I stumbled across several new and a couple established authors that I have never heard of and thought it'd be fun to read some new authors for me.  These books wont appeal to all of you, but here are some suggestions I have based on the book descriptions.

Jamie - Room by Emma Donoghue, Sarah's Key by Tatiana De Rosnay, and The Paris Wife by Paula McLain

Mom- Room by Emma Donoghue, Sarah's Key by Tatiana De Rosnay,  Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford and The Paris Wife by Paula McLain

Ally -  Room by Emma Donoghue, Sarah's Key by Tatiana De Rosnay and Revived by Cat Patrick

Aaron - Lamb and Fool by Christopher Moore, Calico Joe by John Grisham and  The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach

Dad - The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach and Defending Jacob by William Landay

John - I'm sorry I don't really know what you like to read but I think you'd like Defending Jacob by William Landay


As a disclaimer, Fool and Lamb are very raunchy from what I've heard.  Fool is a retelling of King Lear from the Fool Pocket's perspective and Lamb is the Gospel According to Biff, Jesus' childhood friend and chronicles the years missing between his birth and the four Gospels (Religious Satire obviously).




All of these books are books I plan on reading in the near future and I wanted to share them in case any of them interested anyone else.

Who hasn't finished?

Jamie and I just both finished reading The Great Gatsby and thoroughly enjoyed it.  It truly is an American Classic and a great commentary on American Ideals, the rich and the evil that can come of the "American Dream."  Hopefully by Sunday everyone has finished and we can chat about what we found interesting, over the top, and anything else.  See you all soon!

What a great book!

I finished The Great Gatsby! What a wonderful piece of American literature! Can't wait to talk about it! Hurry you up you guys!

The Great Gatsby it is!

Wow! Let's get reading! Let's have it read by July 8th so we can discuss and ruminate at the Tiger's game.
Roaring Twenties ....here we come!
