I am posting the next few months at once, so we can all get these books on hold at our libraries in time. The book we will be reading for November 2017 is The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. 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.
Placed a hold for this one but I am 28th in line and there are only two copies... it might be a while...
I am on the waiting list so it may not be available by month end. But you never know, sometimes they are available sooner.
I actually read this about a year or so ago. I have a bad memory for details in books but I remember being kind of horrified. I will read the posts in this thread and participate when I can.
I know there is a lot of voyeuristic interest in looking at the lives of dysfunctional families...look at the rash of reality shows, Bravo, Shameless etc. these days. If I don't get this book from the library this year, I'll be ok in passing on it.
I have a copy of this book that I am happy to pass on to someone! I can put it in the mail if anyone is interested
I got it earlier than expected and just finished it. It was fascinating yet appalling. It's one of my faves so far this year.
