November - Winter's Bone

I so wish I could tell you we had a great conversation about this book because there is so much to talk about in it but we had a couple of people be able to make the meeting that we haven't seen in a few months and we spent way more time catching up than talking about the book. That's what happens when your book club members become friends!

We didn't entirely forget that we'd read a book. We talked about the book versus the movie (and agreed that the movie is a great adaptation although Mary Beth felt like some of what got left out of the movie would have made the movie even better). We talked about how good the writing is in this book, although we got off topic (again!) before Linda could read some of what she'd bookmarked. We talked about the violence in the book and how that is both easier to read than watch and how it is not.

Imagine how much more we would have talked about the book if Lisa S had just pulled out her notes and wrangled the group into talking about the book better!
