Book Club-Anyone Left?
I just finished the Girl with the Dragon tatoo...didn't like it much but continued to read the first sequel, Girl Who Played with Fire...LOVED it! Page turner and full of suspense! I just finished it and had to go right out and get the final story, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet Nest! Anyone else read these sequels????? |

| I'm in, depending on what book is picked. Haven't read any of The Girl Who.... A little violent for my tastes. How about a classic, like Little Women or Gone With The Wind? |
| Sorry--I have been a little slack with my reading. I have not read the books you are discussing right now--but do intend to read them. My daughter has loaned me all of them. Been a little busier than usual--hope to hop back on with the next round. I am still interested. |
| I'm still in. Finished the Dragon Tattoo but not interested in other books by the same author. Ashley, take your time, get better. That's the only thing that matters now. I like the idea about classics. |
| Finished all three! phew!!! It does get better. I just started The Sister Brothers. But if anyone has any suggestions. http://www.themanbookerprize.com/prize/books/452 Synopsis From the author of the acclaimed Ablutions, this dazzlingly original novel is a darkly funny, offbeat western about a reluctant assassin and his murderous brother. Oregon, 1851. Eli and Charlie Sisters, notorious professional killers, are on their way to California to kill a man named Hermann Kermit Warm. On the way, the brothers have a series of unsettling and violent experiences in the Darwinian landscape of Gold Rush America. Charlie makes money and kills anyone who stands in his way; Eli doubts his vocation and falls in love. And they bicker a lot. Then they get to California, and discover that Warm is an inventor who has come up with a magical formula, which could make all of them very rich. What happens next is utterly gripping, strange and sad. Told in deWitt’s darkly comic and arresting style, The Sisters Brothers is the kind of western the Coen Brothers might write – stark, unsettling and with a keen eye for the perversity of human motivation. Like his debut novel Ablutions, it is a novel about the things you tell yourself in order to be able to continue to live the life you find yourself in, and what happens when those stories no longer work. It is an inventive and strange and beautifully controlled piece of fiction and displays an exciting expansion of Dewitt’s range. Author Biography Patrick deWitt was born 1975 in British Columbia, Canada, and has also lived in California, Washington, and Oregon, where he now resides with his wife and child. His first novel, Ablutions, was published in 2009, and was a New York Times Editors’ Choice. He wrote the screenplay for Terri, a feature film directed by Azazel Jacobs and starring John C. Reilly. Terri will have its world premiere in January at the Sundance film festival. |
| Finished The Sister Brothers. That was good. I can see it being a movie. |
| I'm game when ever the rest are! |
| Me too! |
