A book club - with a difference.

Lotus

Someone asked today if there is a book club, so I thought I'd try starting one. Not the usual type of club where everyone reads the same book - I thought we could write a synopsis of a book we've recently read, to give each other ideas for new books to read.

I have a Kindle subscription, so all of mine will be available on there for people who also subscribe.

  • I am on chapter twenty-five of 'Moby ***' at the moment - I didn't expect it involve so much humour. The narration (Ishmael) reads just like someone telling a rambling story, with tangents and personal views scattered about, it's just brilliant. As mentioned I've only really just started, but I feel I know the characters so well, not to mention how authentic the dialogue is. Melville can write such little words and yet give so much description. His knowledge of whales borders on a special intrest, I think. It is certainly a book I reccomend reading.
