The Book of Air and Shadows

We just finished discussing The Book of Air and Shadows by Michael Gruber. It was a long book - and not one of us actually finished it, but not because it wasn't interesting! I was hooked by the first few pages. Any book that has adventure, book binding, copyright laws, and librarians all involved in the plot is a book for me! And Gruber's writing is captivating. Except for the chapters with the old English. Those are a bit tedious. But kudos to the research it took to do that! So will I finish it? Absolutely!

Welcome to our book nook...

Welcome to our little corner of crazy. We are a book club of about seven, though it varies from month to month. We meet once a month to discuss a book a member has selected. There are no rules to selecting a book, except that we tend to shy away from "self-help". We have read some great books, some not so great books, and some I'd rather not admit, but the purpose for each selection is to try something different. We may even spend more time laughing than talking about the book, but life is too short to finish a book you don't enjoy!
