Thanks for hosting a great discussion last night. I really loved this book, largely, I think, because of the beautiful prose, and the almost magical elements of the story.
For those of you who weren't at the meeting--I'd love to hear your thoughts on this book.
Our next book is The Other by David Guterson. I heard Guterson recently when he interviewed John Updike during the late author's lecture here in Seattle. It was interesting to see him, but I found him fairly ineffective as an interviewer. He had a set of questions and never veered from them, or followed up on points made by Updike. Of course, that means nothing as far as his writing goes.
