Wed. Night Informal Book Club

We meet the third Wed. night at 7:00 in Flip Flopz
 to discuss books we have been reading.
 
Elsie discussed "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn.  She loaned me the book and I read the entire thing the next day.  Very good mystery with lots of twists and turns.
Elsie also mentioned a novel, "Treat Us Like Dogs and We Will Become Wolves" by Carolyn Chute.
Last, she mentioned "Home Town", a non-fiction by Tracy Kidder who won a Pulitzer Prize for "House."
Patsy is reading "Brotherhood", a true story by brothers Dopak and Sanjiv Chopra. It tells of their medical education in India, their immigration to the U.S., and their introduction to transcendental meditation which greatly affects their lives.
 
Karon read "Murder at the Honeysuckle Hotel" by Rose Pressey.  She said it is a cute, fun, fast read.
She also read "Loose Screw" by Rae Davies,
part of Dusty Deals Mysteries.
 
Pam's favorite read was "The Condition" by Jennifer Haigh, who also wrote "Faith."
She mentioned "The Valley of Amazement"  by Amy Tan, the story of 3 generations of women courtesans in China.
She liked "The Burgess Boys" by Elizabeth Strout, which is stories of real people.
She mentioned 2 books by Stephen King, "Revival" and "Dr. Sleep",  which she didn't like.

 
Thanks, Patsy
