Re: August Book Club
I can do some more looking for those genres, Pants, but I'll list the ones I have already pulled out here in case it helps/hurts. lol.
Epistolary Novels:
The Color Purple -- also historical fiction
Les Liaisons Dangereuses -- also romance and historical fiction -- a classical romance with aristocrats and sabotage. The John Malkovich movie was entertaining.
We Need to Talk about Kevin -- letters written by the mother of a school shooter to her ex husband
Irish Fiction:
Room -- told from POV of a 5yo who has only lived in one room for his entire life, as his mother and he are held captive there
The Butcher Boy -- told from POV of a teenager who is a black sheep of the town because of his issues/actions (I've read this one, and it's cahrazy).
Paddy Clark Ha Ha Ha -- Kid whose parents are going through a divorce, tough town etc..
I personally would like to stick with historical fiction. Here are some other suggestions from googling recs from NBC board:
Sound great:
Pillars of the Earth (maybe too long, but I've heard WONDERFUL things about it)
Jarretsville
These is My Words
The Historian
Meh:
People of the Book
Sarah's Key
Queen Hereafter
The Countess and the King
Innocent Traitor
I've been wanting to read this one for a long time!
Also I'd rather not do Irish fiction since we did that earlier this year.
Oh, duh. I now see where Pants mentioned you already did an Irish one.
Ok, how about this -- pick either historical fiction or epistolary, and then whichever is more popular, we can use the epistolary choices I listed, or the historical fiction ones LB posted.
Ready, go!
That sounds fascinating!
Amen.
