Today our bookclub met at Panera's on High Street to discuss "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" by David Wroblewski which was an Ophrah selection in 2008, and is a retelling of the Hamlet story, which Shakespeare retold from an old, well known story. I wasn't enthusiastic about this book (huge and a bit wordy), but finally sat down on the week-end and plowed about 2/3 through, skipping some sections. An amazing Edgar, who can't speak, and amazing dogs. And the story takes place in Wisconsin, so I felt a little at home. Actually, once I got into the story, I started to enjoy it. It was a lively and enthusiastic group, although smaller than usual. Our leader, Judy, did an excellent job providing additional resources.
Remaining titles for February through May:
The Big Burn; Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire that saved America
The Good Earth
Wait Till New Year
Hold Up the Sky
Preferring truth to custom, the better to the good, adapt to adopt, reform to revolution, solutions to goals, knowledge to awareness, faith to spirituality. The rules.
