Book Club

I had book club last night and we got a review of the book Trespass by Amy Irvine since it was so new only 1 person read it. I have it now on my wishlist it sounds like a good read.

We also discussed Into the Wild by Jon Krakhauer. Some people saw the movie and some people read the book and saw the movie and some just read the book. It was an interesting discussion on the creative license of movies... since some parts were exploded from the notes in the book to something else. Many interpreted Chris MCCandless as a young wild kid who was immortal, impregnable, and invincible! Very good discussion. Another book club member related the store of her brother killed in Iraq who was that same way at that age - nothing could stop him. Although a few said he was a careless, uncaring person and why would he disappear and do that to his family and parents. The rebuttal was that he didn't think that was wrong or that he was doing that.

We also had a brief discussion of a book called The Nine : Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court by Jeffrey Toobin that someone was reading.

We revisited the Eat, Pray, Love book again it sounds like a love or hate read, some couldn't get past the first 50 pages while others stuck it out and said the end was fun and romantic in Bali and others were disappointed with the ending based on how she started her journey.
