Book club

For some time, I have wanted to be a member of a book club. For no other reason that it's a trendy and erudite kinda thing to do. And also, I suspect my reading tastes are limiting and limited, and I would like to broaden them a little. So, as a friend is setting one up, I am one of the first members. Ha!

The first book is to be Donna Tartt's new book. Which is strange, because I read "The Secret History" on holiday some years ago because two people whose opinions I valued recommended it (nay, raved about it). So I read it, and I never really got what they loved. It was a good book, and I enjoyed it. It was gripping, but I didn't rave, and I'm not sure I would have recommended it to others. So I may read that again, just to see if I can get with that plot before getting with (or not) a whole new one. I think it'll be an interesting experience just discovering books which one wouldn't ordinarily read, and hearing other peoples' views on them.

So look to see more arcane and unexpected tomes gracing these pages.  ¶ 9:47 PM
