Book discussions are fun!
I enjoyed leading this one; although, I feel I made some mistakes. For example, I may have moved the discussion too fast and not given people the chance to chime in. I was afraid of losing my train of thought, so I bounced on comments with more questions.
One participant remarked that it looked like I was dancing during the talk. I was probably rocking with extra excitement. I also talked too much! Can you imagine!?! Maybe I should limit the coffee intake on RRT days.
Man, I love this book! It took this second reading to realize Ann Patchett's style is very much like her favorite authors: Nabokov, Gabriel Garcia-Marquez, Chekov, Raymond Chandler and Joan Didion.
I look forward to her next book!

I must be the last person who hasn't read this book! I have it, just not piled high enough on my shelf :) If you haven't read Truth & Beauty by Patchett I do recommend that.
Hey, thanks for the tip! Maggie :-)
I have this book buried somewhere on my shelves. I need to pull it out and read it. I'll bet you did great at the book club. We just sit around a table at the club I belong to. It would be scary to have to stand up and talk.
A sit-around group is great, too. They tend to be cozier affairs. I'm sure they are just as much fun! :) Mags
The book was great. You did an excellent job, really appreciated the background information on her!
*blush* Ah, shucks! You know you are really too kind. ;)
