The Hunger Games
Read the Hunger Games. My interest went only so far as the first few chapters. Hard for me to imagine their world. I wanted more history about how the districts came to be. But for a teenage sci-fi it was an okay story. Not one of my favorites. I'm sure I'll watch the movie. Not sure who else is reading the book or if we'll even have a discussion about specific things. I did think the Cornucopia was a little out of place. But, it was nice also to see a throwback to Greek Mythology. I had a hard time imagining a huge gold horn as a backdrop to all the destruction. So if there is anyone out there who would like to delve into some literary discussion about the said, Gold Horn, I am all ears. The symbolical implications of the horn may well be worth a discussion. Any thoughts on the matter?

I had forgotten we had this blog site. I really miss reading. I will buy the book and read it. Thanks for reviving the Exegeisthai Reading club.

why not?!
I wonder why we stop our reading club. It was fun and something to look forward to every month... I wonder if anyone still is checking this blog.
Anyone?
Anyone?

A Footnote
Can I just list the books I've read and I can start reading for the Club again. Sorry, Edward Cullen and Artemis Fowl have a pull on my life! Help!!
Artemis Fowl, Books One to Four
Twilight
New Moon
Eclipse
Breaking Dawn
Pride and Prejudice
I'm such a slow reader. Sometimes I'll ask myself, "Do the kids really need to eat dinner??" Just kidding! Happy Reading.

June's Book
I want to stay with this book. "West with the Night" by Beryl Markham. I know the month is half gone, but I think you can maybe find this book at the library or you can order it real inexpensive from amazon. I just don't know how soon it would come in the mail. It might be at Barnes and Noble in UT so check it out.
