Book Club

So I joined a book club with my friend Sara last April. Being an avid reader, I was very excited about it. At the first meeting, we selected all the books that we would read over the next year. We have read three of these books so far.

I have to say, I've been quite disappointed. All three books were highly-acclaimed, award winning books. I have not liked a single one. The first two were atrocious. The last one wasn't quite as bad, but it still felt like a waste of time to read it. Sadly, the consensus with the other members of the club is the same (with the exception of Teresa, who appears to favor the underdog).

Our next meeting is December 6th. This book is called 'Maps for Lost Lovers', by Nadeem Aslam. It's about a Pakistani couple in England who disappear. It is suspected they were murdered in an 'honor' killing. It looks to Sara and I like it will be a good read. I am afraid to get my hopes up, however, after all the previous disappointments.

I'll let you know how it turns out.
