Book Club

lol @ you two multi-bookers! I can do it with one novel and one dip-in-and-out non fiction or biog but I couldn't cope with two 'stories' going on at once.

The post lady has just brought my Amazon order. I didn't know anything about 19 Minutes before now; I now see that the theme is the same as We Need to Talk About Kevin by (Male name, which I can't remember, but female writer) Shriver. It will be interesting to compare the two.

Edit: Lionel Shriver What a funny name to give to a baby daughter

Just finished 19 minutes and found at the back of the book is suggested questions for book club discussion. What do people think about taking a few of these questions and discussing them one at a time.

Thought this would be quite a good way to discuss the book instead of each of us trying to cover so much in one or two posts and not really getting a 'good' discussion going.

What do people think?

I think that's an excellent idea!

great - hope the others agree. Do we have a finish date? Was it 31st Jan?

We do, and it is. Love the idea about the suggestions for discussion.

Are they at the back of your book too?

No, mine was from Barnes and Noble, a US bookseller like Amazon (only with less stuff!); got it with my Christmas gift card.

Oh shame - I'll pm you a couple of the questions to see what you think.

dandysmom · 23-01-2009, 11:59 PM

Please do, I'd like that. Off for a few to start dinner; will pop back on while things are cooking. I hate the time difference; just as things are interesting, I have to go!
