What book would you love to read with your fellow book club members? Post the title and author below, and your suggestion may be included in an upcoming poll. In the meantime, have you voted for the book you would like to read in July? Pick one of the four books below by Sunday, June 28. Flight, by Sherman Alexie: After running away from his 20th foster home, a half–Native American, half-Irish 15-year-old orphan is involved in a shooting incident that causes him to time-travel and relive important moments in the history of American Indians. The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, by Junot Díaz: A popular runner-up in the May poll, the Pulitzer-winning story of “lovesick ghetto nerd” Oscar, who dreams of becoming the Dominican Tolkien, returns. Haroun and the Sea of Stories, by Salman Rushdie: Though categorized as young adult, this is a delight for readers of any age—the phantasmagoric story of Haroun and his father, a great storyteller whose lost gift of gab Haroun sets out to restore. Sag Harbor, by Colson Whitehead: A coming-of-age story, set in 1985, of Benji, one of the few African-American students at a tony New York City private school, who spends the summer with his younger brother in Sag Harbor, on Long Island.
Posted by: Loretta| Thursday, June 25, 2009 at 11:24 AM Daisy Chain by Mary DeMuth would be a great pick! "The Hour I First Believed" by Wally Lamb Another book club I am in read "The Middle Place" by Kelly Corrigan. It is a memoir of her present life as she is diagnosed and treated for cancer, and her life as a child in an Irish-Catholic family, especially her relationship with her father, George Corrigan - a larger than life figure. She is a good writer and I was drawn in immediately and flew through the book. The Blue Cotton Gown - Patricia Harman Book idea for the future is "Peace Like a River" The Poisinwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb I am a reading nerd - lol. I usually read every book posted for the club whether it is picked or not. I strongly URGE everyone to PLEASE read The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. It is one of the best books I have ever read! I read this when it first came out and it is an amazing book. Please add this every month until it is picked - I promise you will not be disappointed. In addition - The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao is not that great - hard to understand his dialect and thought process - not sure who keeps thinking this is such a great book. I am curious who picks or what is the selection process to decide the 4 books to choose from? Best Regards - Chris Evans, Plano, TX Also- I read a lot, so if you ever need book suggestions please let me know. Geraldine Brooks - "People of the Book" Sarah's Key by Tatiana De Rosnay is a wonderful book and would make for a great discussion. Also would love to read The Thirteenth Tale as I've heard it is terrific. Anything by Jodi Picoult makes for good conversation as does Elizabeth Berg. Two from my TBR list: A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian by Marina Lewycka; and I'd love to recommend "Daisy Chain" by Mary DeMuth. It is one of my recent reads and new favorites. :D The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffeneger is one of the most engaging and fascinating books I have ever read, and would be a great pick! Lots to discuss. I'm with LauraLee and Robin: Daisy Chain, by Mary DeMuth! I highly recommend Bonnie Grove's debut novel, TALKING TO THE DEAD. Daisy Chain by Mary DeMuth Definitely TALKING TO THE DEAD by Bonnie Grove. It hooks you from the first sentence and never lets up! What a great read! Hi, Daisy Chain by Mary E. DeMuth |
