Hi everyone!
Has anyone got a suggestion for our next book? I have enjoyed reading with all of you. And, let me just tell you, I felt that our discussions here were better than the ones in the book group I go to once a month.
These are my suggestions for the next book -
An Elegant Gathering of White Snows, by Kris Radish
Close Range - Wyoming Stories by Annie Proulx
The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak
Elegant is about a group of women who are supportive of each other and who one day just start walking, and they keep walking - as they walk the background of each is revealed. They attract the news and people start to wonder what where why the are walking.
Close Range - is a group of short stories about Wyoming and the people who live there. The movie Brokeback Mountain is based on one of the stories in this book.
The Book Thief is a book that I heard about on Good Morning America. It is about alittle girl who lives in Nazi Germany and her relationship with books, other people, etc. (Let me just say right up front that the narrator of the book is Death.) According to Charlie Gibson on GMA this book was fantastic.
Please!!!! Other suggestions would be great. I always love to hear what other people find in the way of books, because sometimes it enables me to find out about an author or book that I would not have come across before.
Also, consider Lovely Bones - I truly believe this book is going to be made into a movie and I am very curious to see who portrays the different characters. The book was about a very sad/serious subject but it was written so well that you are able to get through it easily.
(If anyone has read this book and would like to get a little more insight into the background of this author you can read Lucky, also by the same writer. It is a memoir of hers and sheds a great deal of light on her thoughts for Lovely Bones.)
