We are back on track again, with another good book waiting for everyone to pick up at the library. Our next choice is The Beast in the Garden, by David Baron. With the recent cougar incident in the Stoneridge neighborhood, and the proximity we live to wildlife habitat, it should provide some insight into human/cougar interaction. I expect we will all have at least one good story to relate from our own experiences.
We met at my ( Esther's) house in September to discuss The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, by Mark Haddon. We rated the book 5.08. We found it very interesting and well - written, and unique.
The perspective of the narrator gave an insight into the very literal way in which this autistic boy viewed the world. Several of us were reminded of the book Room, by Emma Donaghue in that the narrator's voice was such a prominent feature of the book. Some of us have a family member diagnosed with autism, which made the reading of the book more personal, and perhaps more emotionally difficult.
Looking forward to seeing you all at Deborah Gregory's home in November!
