Instead of meeting for Book Club on December 9 we attended Art's Funeral. His death was unexpected and terribly sad.
All who were in the country met up the next Saturday to check in with each other. We missed Art's company and comments. "Stoner" was unanimously praised and Tony pointed out that the passage that changes the course of Stoner's life was about death, strangely appropriate.
Life and reading goes on. January's book was "Days Without End," another book enjoyed by all.
February we read "Wintering," by Peter Geye. The outdoor scenes with the father and son were beautiful but all the female characters, including the narrator, were not well written at all.
Coming up:
March--"The Tusk That Did the Damage" by Tania James
April--"Katalin Street" by Magda Szabo
May--"The Kindness of Enemies" by Laila Abouleda
