Reading Rocks!

Book Club: Season 2

Welcome back!

I hope everyone is as excited as I am to kick-off the 2nd year of the Read Rocks Book Club. Aside from needing a better name for the club, we have the task of choosing our first book of the season. Everyone is aware of the rules, so I'll simply list each member's choices below:

Fiona
o Everything is Illuminated - Jonathan Safran Foer | this book was deemed 'a work of genius' by The New York Times
o Reading Lolita in Tehran - John Muthyala
o In the Skin of the Lion - Michael Ondaatje | Acclaimed author of The English Patient

Michael
o The Accidental - Ali Smith | winner of the Whitbread Prize and short-listed for the Booker
o The Namesake - Jumpha Lahari | check out the film trailer being debuted at TIFF | Pulitzer-prize winning author of The Interpreter of Maladies
o The Night Watch - Sarah Waters | lesbian author who has been short-listed for the Booker multiple times
