2003 Book of the Month Choices

[Darren]

I'm going to suggest "The Bone Collector" by Jeffery Deaver for April's read, unless anyone has any other thoughts?

 

[Dawn]

Sounds good to me.

 

[lies]

We're the 14th already, and we still haven't got a book for August yet. Any thoughts?

 

[murphyz]

Something short, easy to read and then discuss. Perhaps something that many of us have already read. Therefore, I propose the following.

Louis Sachar - Holes
John Steinbeck - Of Mice and Men
Paulo Coelho - The Alchemist

Any one approve these? Or have a preference for either?

murphyz, I've read the first two, but what's the last one about? (and don't tell me it's about an alchemist! I know you were thinking it.)

 

[murphyz]

The last one is very critically acclaimed and is about a young shepherd who has a dream about treasure - 'his detiny' - and goes to find it. It's meant to be a 'soul finding' book but I think that was lost on me and, to be honest, I didn't think it was that great.

Thousands of others like it though...
