Book Club: LTGWS Book Two discussion
I'm light on questions this week - feel free to contribute your own!
1. In ?This Is the House That Horse Built? we get an intimate glimpse into the life of a New York prostitute in the 1970s. She considers herself a failure. Do you agree with her? Or do you think she achieves grace despite the circumstances of her life?
2. Did this chapter change your perception of Tillie? (interesting discussion of the chapter here)
3. Any other comments/thoughts?
4. eta: What did you think of the tightrope walker's section at the end of Book Two?
We'll wrap up the book next week (which means if you haven't already, you'll want to read Books Three and Four this week! don't worry, Book Four is short) and start on the next book Monday 8/23.

1. In ?This Is the House That Horse Built? we get an intimate glimpse into the life of a New York prostitute in the 1970s. She considers herself a failure. Do you agree with her? Or do you think she achieves grace despite the circumstances of her life? I can't really answer this because I don't want stuff to come out from later in the book (I'm done with the book). It was very interesting to read about the life of a New York prostitute, especially her different "daddys". I also liked how the writer changed his writing style for this chapter.
2. Did this chapter change your perception of Tillie? (interesting discussion of the chapter here) Absolutely... it made her more personable. She became an actual person, not just another one of the street walker props in the story.... if that makes sense. I liked the discussion in the link you provided - still pretty new to this book club discussion thing.
3. Any other comments/thoughts? Hopefully I'll have more to talk about next week when we discuss Books 3 & 4. Those were the better books, I think, because things came together more.
4. eta: What did you think of the tightrope walker's section at the end of Book Two? It was great! I loved finding out more about this guy - and the birth date trick was awesome. His interactions with the cops were pretty funny.
