Are you thinking of a book?

Think of a book that would be a good one to discuss in a book club.

Thinking on demand is really hard. I tried to pass this task off to someone else on the course, cause we're supposed to be sharing and all, but this didn't go too well: there was no one around! So much for team players. Am I the only one who's always hanging round the workroom waiting for Web 2.0 tasks? I know that can't be true.

So I decided to just dig in and think of a book. I furrowed my brow and squinted and tried to remember if I'd ever read anything that I'd call a book. Success! I jumped straight into Lit Lovers' books by title and found nothing. The book wasn't there. Frustrated, I figured I'd try the other two books I'd read. It felt like one of them just had to be on there, but neither of them were.

The good news: there's a bunch of books on there that I can choose from. I haven't read any of them, sure, but that wasn't even in the instructions. It just said think of a book. This totally counts.

I chose The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. Lit Lovers' page on the book has a little bit of author info, a synopsis, some critical quotes and eight discussion questions to take to a group. Or you could do them on your own if you're afraid of getting caught (don't get caught). If I had any idea how book clubs functioned I'd let you know how useful these questions are, but my book club never functioned. Such a shame.
