Information area
·
Author -Emily Rapp Book-“ The still point of the turning
world”
Mother memoirs about having a
child with Tay- Sachs disease.
·
There was an article in New Yorker about
author James Salter, very interesting
biography.
I took one of his books Light
years, very good review from Richard Ford, but I found it boring
Maybe I will try to listen to
another book.
·
Author -Orhan Pamuk, I found his main book Snow
very boring.
Now
I am listening to his The Museum of Innocence, very delightful
book, not sure we will discuss it at the club.
·
Author – Kent Haruf, his latest book
Benediction, I suggest we take as our book for the month of June. The book club
meeting is on June 24.
Writing here about books that we were and are reading at the
club, just to have memory and remember in old age.
Also will post some information that I came across in the contemporary
literature area, like other books that I read or heard and it seems interesting
to me. I would like to encourage you doing
the same.
So far we had 2 book club meeting, today is the third. We
meet once a month, usually last Monday of the month, but not always, today is an
exception.
