Book Club tomorrow!

It's book club tomorrow night, The Other Hand by Chris Cleave, and i came across some quotes from the book which i really liked. check these out (sam, this means you)  http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/374590.Chris_Cleave

there is one quote on the very last page which i liked, but i'm not totally sure if i agree with it or not. I'll find it and post it here. It has sort of stuck with me all day today.

Here is a reading group guide from Chris Cleave's website which is interesting, some of it is a bit lame, but there are some good thought starters.

I wonder why the U.S. book has another name... It's called Little Bee. I understand why some publishers change the name of their books in different markets, but that's usually because it's lost in translation, but this title seems pretty cross-cultural to me...

Can't wait for book club!

  1. There are so many things I can't wait to chat about on this book. I was reading something online about the author and guess who is favourite author is and what his fave book is.....The Road by Corman Mcarthy. And in away this book leaves you in the same place. Is it fear or hope at the end. More discussion to come tomorrow but don't want to give the game away yet.
