Reading Guides Are Superb

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

Our book club definitely benefits from structure. If there is no structure, we end up watching youTube videos!! You know it!!!

So I have found a really awesome site that has reading guides. And there is a guide there for Atonement, our current selection. (I’m 4 chapters into Atonement, and its pretty good so far!)

It’s there if we want to use it…and take a look at the other books there. They have some interesting choices as well.

Done! With Time To Spare!

It was a crazy race to the finish, but I actually finished the book club book, “The Big Over Easy” by Jasper Fforde yesterday and in plenty of time for book club (that’s tonight). It was a good book, and I’m excited because I can see the list of upcoming book selections. They all look really good!!

I also wanted to mention that I found this list of books on Tor’s website that have free reading guides with discussion questions. Andy is a lucky one because the book he has already chosen for book club, The Prestige, is on that site and has a reading guide. If you need a book club book, that site seems like a good place to go for ideas.

As an aside, I have really been enjoying the free digital books Tor is giving away right now. Although I have way too many books to read right now (some of them being library books), I have started every one of those free books (Mistborn and Old Man’s War). Both are good! I hope they start selling books in PDF format…they are super convenient.
