Mother memoirs about having a child with Tay- Sachs disease.

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.

  2. I actually like Snow, and I've read his other books - My name is Red is one. I think in The Museum of Innocence he is really testing the limits of his readers' patience, with his attention to details. There is a lot to discuss, maybe too much, in any of his books. He also has Istanbul, have you seen it?
