As I was picking up a Ribba picture frame, Vippa clothes hooks, Anna ginger snaps and numerous other well-designed Swedish tchotchkes at IKEA the other day, I thought about The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Then I started regretting that I had missed eating Pam's Cedar-Plank Salmon -- and, of course, discussing the Stieg Larsson's thriller at her BBQ. I am also disappointed that I missed Dulcy's meeting on The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. I hope everyone enjoyed reading both books this summer. I did.
Now it's time for our fall book club. Cathy has volunteered to host it at her house on Sunday, Oct. 11. Please let her know, if this date works for you. Please vote for one her choices. Cathy will announce the winner next week.
- Zeiton by Dave Eggers (The Times had an amazing review of this book on Katrina the other week.)
- Let the World Spin: A Novel by Colum McCann
- Serena: A Novel by Ron Rash
Mary mentioned some interesting books shortlisted for the Booker Prize in her July post. I have been eager to read Colm Toibin's Brooklyn. Though I'd be happy to read any and all of them.
Mary, maybe you would be interested in hosting our winter meeting? Hint, hint.
