Book Club: The Time Traveler's Wife

| 1 Comment

I hosted book club tonight. This is a version of the book club that was started the last time I was here but instead of turning people away we are wondering why no one around here seems to read! We had five in our group last night and it felt like a good number to keep the conversation going and for everyone to have a chance to talk. I loved this book and rank it up there with my favorite books. I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did so the next book I read has a lot to live up to (I tried to pick up The Historian and couldn't read it it was so poorly written compared to The Time Traveler's Wife). Our next book club book is Good Grief by Lolly Winston.

I LOVED The Time Traveler's Wife--I'm glad you liked it! I liked The Historian, too, though I understand why one wouldn't--it's very heavy on lavish travelogues of mid-20th-century European cities. And if it makes you feel better, I found the end HUGELY disappointing, and this was after enjoying most of the book.

Have you ever read David Mitchell? I've only read Cloud Atlas, but it's now one of my favorite books. I've heard excellent things about Black Swan Green. Cloud Atlas and some of his other books take place at least partly in Asia--it's unclear where, but I think either China or Korea.

Later gator!
