Prepare for some weirdness!

Readers: watch this trailer (in Russian) for the movie and prepare for some strangeness in our next novel! Maybe we should try to arrange a movie night...OR?

Midnight's Children

Last week, we met to discuss the book Amy and I read: Midnight's Children. After Amy served us an amazing soup and secured a heart-breaking reading comprehension quiz victory, we went on to discuss why we didn't read Midnight's Children. Natalie explained how she can't read a book when she doesn't connect with the main character, while Or described the story of another sci-fi novel. I was too busy drinking to write down the title, although I do remember that:

- Amy is reading On Brick Lane, not to be confused with Brick Lane
- Natalie is reading Prague, a book on Hungary?!?!?!?
- I'm reading The Dark Half by Stephen King, and I'm trembling like a little girl

The absentees might think that they didn't miss much that night, but that would not be giving credit to Laure and Edouard! En effet, the blogosphere joins us in congratulating them as they are expecting!!! Will we be adding an eleventh book club member next year? Will Or and Karen serve burgers at the next book meeting? Will we be reading Teletubbies: An Outing at the Zoo over the Christmas break next year? I think so!!!

Until then, our next book club is on Feb 26, and we are discussing what will probably win the best book award of the year: The Good Earth. This is an easy read folks, so I expect everyone to have read it (that means you too Steve).

Read forever,
Tube Reader
