A New Book For February

OK, so I guess not everyone was as jazzed as I was about reading The Choice, so I have decided to change my choice to All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy. We've never read a western before so I think this is a good choice. It won the National Book Award back in 1992 which is a pretty big deal. McCarthy is considered by many to be the greatest living American author. I've read three other books by him and they have all be awesome. He was the guy who wrote No Country for Old Men and The Road.

Welcome Danny

I wanted to give an official welcome to Danny, the newest member of our book club. Have any of you noticed that Danny looks just like Ethan from the all new 90210? Check it out

Not A Joke

Cicely- I know you don't have a ban on Nicholas Sparks. Allison and I have a loving memory of hearing you sniffle and seeing you wipe snot on your sleeve while watching The Notebook with you and David at the Sugarhouse Movies 10.

I am serious. This is not a joke.

The Choice by Nicholas Sparks

Fellow Bookclubbers, its time we announced the book for February. After a few less than stellar picks, it has fallen upon my shoulders once again to find us another excellent book. I thought back to all of the books that we have read: Pride and Prejudice (teen romance), Coraline (young adult horror), The Shack (Christian Fantasy), The Christmas Box (Boring). It seems to me that besides Coraline, the only book that you all have really loved was Pride and Prejudice. So, I've decided to pick a book from the Jane Austin of our era, Nicholas Sparks. This month we will be reading The Choice. I can't wait. Here are a few words that from a review of The Choice that I picked at random, "emotional ups and downs," "choices," "beautiful love story," "car accident," "emotions," "weeping."

I can't wait.

Everyone spread the word about this awesome book so that we can increase the size of our book club.

Feb.

Darth- what are we reading for February? Maybe this month we could actually discuss the book.

ps. I admit December's choice was not the best.
