I just want to say Thanks
Ed for always being ready with a book and picking great books.
As always it was a great
meeting. Great book, conversation and great friends. It’s hard to imagine that
we’ve been together since 1997. I’m not sure many book club groups can say
that.
Sorry some of you couldn’t
join us. You were missed and maybe even talked about. Hehe Sorry for the juggling around of the dates. First
I made a mistake, tried to fix etc. but finally we got a date!
When asked why Ed picked
this book he said “Because Gaye’s was so depressing”. Said with a twinkle in
his eye and a smirk. He found this book light, intelligent and easy to read.
I can feel Nora’s pain or
lack there of because she can’t remember why she walked into the kitchen or get
in the car and forget where she’s going. So far I still recognized my daughter,
family and friends. Nora wrote that most authors know when and how they came up
with the inspiration to write a book but as the title says “I Remember Nothing”
She think of this great idea for a book and then forget it but she guesses that
at some point the idea stuck. It is sad that parts of her life slip away but she
still has her sense of humor.
Everybody present and a
couple who weren’t present said they loved loved the book. I was reading some
of the reviews and some people weren’t happy with the way the story just
stopped, they wanted more. Well our group loved it and thought it made you feel
like you were sitting across the table with a friend just chatting over a
drink.
And next to choose was Ms
Jan. She wasn’t able to make it but I did get in touch with her and got the
name of the next book.
Jan’s choice is Strangers
on a Train by Patricia
Highsmith. So don’t waste time so
get that book and start reading. Our next meeting will be Thursday June 19th.
Next to
choose will be Cindy, Kathy, Kris, Lauren, or Lisa Rhodes. Be ready Ladies!
Happy Reading
