Any suggestions from the Book Club?
This year I have found The Book Thief to be my favorite read. I also enjoyed A Thousand Splendid Suns much more than its brother, The Kite Runner.
I’m kind of in a holding pattern until Christmas. I usually get four or five books from my continuing list. Right now I’m reading an old British book on “Operation Sea Lion.” It mostly discusses the “mood” in Britain and the domestic security measures taken by the authorities during the invasion scare of 1940.
It’s a good lesson that once people accept a level of government intrusion into their private lives in the name of national security, it is very difficult to get the government to keep it’s nose out when the emergency has passed.
