Book Club Recap 7/6/10

Attendees: Callah, Christopher, Denise, Heather, Rambo, Rhonda, & Tina. With appearances by Cooper and Nathan.

We discussed the book The Miracle Life of Edgar Mint by Brady Udall. Only Rambo, Rhonda, and I read the book. We told everyone the story of Edgar Mint and I would write those details here, but I don't want to ruin any details of the book incase you still want to read it. It is a little depressing and some of the members who didn't read the book didn't have a desire to read the book after we discussed what it was about. The three of us that read the book really liked it, even though Edgar was in horrible situations throughout most of the book. The writing was really good and even though Edgar did some bad things he was a very likable character and a good person at heart. The story does have a good ending!

After we discussed the book it was on to more fun topics! Oh, but first we all had some Crack Pie that Denise and Rambo brought over, which was a big hit! We talked about how Callah finished the Artist's Way and how she got really frustrated with the book and the author, but she finished it! We talked about how Tina has been standing up for herself with her kids and we were all very proud of her! Next we spent a huge amount of time talking about Rambo's parents and how much fun they are :)!

The next book club is Tuesday August 3rd at 7pm at Rhonda's house. We will be reading Little Bee by Chris Cleave http://www.amazon.com/Little-Bee-Novel-Chris-Cleave/dp/1416589643/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1278622359&sr=8-1

We hope that you can make it!!!
