We are currently working on Caleb Carr. We read "The Alienist" and have already gone on to the sequel "Angel of Darkness." These are great books with many interesting and poignant threads throughout. We will discuss this briefly in our next time.
Last time we met I made a suggestion as we all were on our way out " Read Virginia Woolf..." I know you don't get it, and you don't like it! That is okay.
Adeline Virginia Woolf is a tough read. You don' have to like her, in fact you don't even have to read her. The only reason that I suggest Virginia Woolf is that in our next meeting we will be introducing the genre of "memoir." And Virginia Woolf is a founding member of the more modern rendition of this very difficult and wonderful genre. ( By the way, "memoir" is much more interesting and enthralling than VW)
There are others who make for a not-just-good-but-great read, but I want you to find them and we will talk about them at our next meeting!
