BOOK CLUB ISO MEMBERS!!
So today, my dearest michikatinski and I have decided to form a virtual book club! Anyone wanting to join us is very welcome! The way this will work will be that we all read the same book (duh), and then we discuss it at some point after everyone finishes. I'm voting for a Skype group call to really chat about it, but perhaps there could be another way, all text based, if need be.
Anyway, our first book is March by Geraldine Brooks. The description is:
From Louisa May Alcott’s beloved classic Little Women, Geraldine Brooks has animated the character of the absent father, March, and crafted a story "filled with the ache of love and marriage and with the power of war upon the mind and heart of one unforgettable man" (Sue Monk Kidd). With"pitch-perfect writing" (USA Today), Brooks follows March as he leaves behind his family to aid the Union cause in the Civil War. His experiences will utterly change his marriage and challenge his most ardently held beliefs. A lushly written, wholly original tale steeped in the details of another time, March secures Geraldine Brooks’ place as a renowned author of historical fiction.
We have chosen this book because of our mutual love of Little Women, and we would dearly love to have others join us in discovering this book.
Arbitrarily, I am saying we will have a goal of one book a month or so, so we'll be looking for a date at the end of February/first part of March by which to have read the book and hold a discussion of some form. How does that sound? Any takers? Everyone's welcome, and alory_shannon, and edith_jones, I'm looking towards you guys in particular!
