Seveneves - August CC Book Club Selection

Parent Cafe
205

I vote for NJTM’s top two options:

  1. Duet: West with the Night by Beryl Markham and Circling the Sun by Paula McLain. I even own a copy of West with the Night, but I've never read it.
  2. Either The House of Mirth OR Far from the Madding Crowd OR To the Lighthouse.

My other book group has read a couple of Nigeria-focused books lately, so I’d rather vote forThe Fishermen one another time. But it’s not a veto!

I AM glad that Narrow Road to the Deep North was vetoed–I read about 50-60 pages of that one and wasn’t engaged at all. I never got to the POW parts. (This often happens with me and well-reviewed Booker Prize winners/finalists.)

And I haven’t tried My Brilliant Friend, but I started Ferrante’s Days of Abandonment, after someone recommended it to me. I couldn’t get through that one, either!
