For the rest November and December we will be reading and discussing "A Man Called Ove" by Fredrik Backman . Please label spoilers or even type them in white like I just did right here (highlight that blank space) so that a person has to highlight it to read it. If I could get a sticky @gonewiththewind that would be amazing! Amazon | BN | Goodreads | Chapters
Sweet! I put in a request a long time ago and I'm still only up to about position #15 or so, but there are 6 copies, so hopefully I'll get it by Nov!
I didn't realize at movie was coming out! I have the book, but not the Sept/Oct one yet, so I may read them out of order so I can see the movie while its in the theater... http://www.musicboxfilms.com/a-man-called-ove-movies-139.php
Thanks for that link Tracie. On one podcast I heard, they say that this is a very good book to listen too as you hear the tone of Ove's moods so well.
I just finished this last night... can't wait to discuss it! Now to track down the Sept/Oct book since I went out of order
I got this book this week and started reading it but didn't like it after a chapter or two. (I think I started the second chapter.) I feel disinclined to read about this grumpy man. Am I not giving the book enough chance?
I convinced my daughter to listen to this with me. When the kids were little we constantly had a book on tape/cd going in the car when we drove around town. She's a senior and I still drive her to her cheer lessons a couple towns away. I'm looking forward to it! We haven't listened to any audio books in years!
