I really liked this one and we had a great book club discussion on it. I did lend it to someone who is an irregular reader and she was not a fan, so I think your advice is pretty acurate. I will be curious to see what you think of Oscar. I didn't like it, but I kept feeling like I was missing something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-64986492314640743752010-04-13T23:34:13.242-04:002010-04-13T23:34:13.242-04:00How excited to have started a book club!

That book was fantastic and the perfect example of how a good book of short stories should be done.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-68718409891762289382010-04-13T13:07:54.942-04:002010-04-13T13:07:54.942-04:00@ Mary I still haven't read any Jhumpa Lahiri....@ Mary I still haven't read any Jhumpa Lahiri.

There is a lot to discuss about OK, though, so I can see where it would be a great book club selection.Mary (Bookfan)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00573126476574980169noreply@blogger.com
