November Book Club

Our next meeting will be
Friday, November 7
7:00 p.m.
My house!
We're reading My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.

Thanks for Coming

Thanks to everyone who came last night! I really enjoyed time with new friends and old, and I think our discussion was lively and interesting. (I guess the peach shortcake and apple goat cheese bruschetta weren't too shabby either!) Hopefully you found our evening fun as well. See you next time!

A Variety of Opinions

The Shack is a book that sparks a variety of reactions in its readers! Here are a few responses I've collected so far. I look forward to hearing what everyone else thought on Monday!

An article with a little history on the author here

A review from my pastor here (scroll down to the second header on this special topics page)

The book's website here

An article on "Is the book heresy" here

One blogger's interview with the author here (along with a lengthy discussion in the post comments)

Might be interesting to see what others think, but it is most relevant for our purposes to know what you think. We won't agree, but perhaps we can sharpen one another as we talk.

September 22 Information

We're meeting at my house on September 22 at 7:00.
The book we're reading is The Shack by William P. Young.
Let me know if you can come!

Getting Started

Welcome to the "Different Book" blog, where I will post information about my book club. Check here for links to book reviews, comments and reflections on what I'm reading, polls for which book to read next, and information about club business and schedules. Hope you enjoy reading with me!
