Book Club
So it appears I will be hosting the next book club. Which is exciting because that means I get to choose the book we read. Here is the list of books that I have come across that I think sound interesting...
The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0143037145/ref=pd_rvi_gw_1/002-4128499-8591232?ie=UTF8
This book was recommended to me by my loverly sister, Brenna. It's about a lady who gives birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The girl has downs, and her father (who happened to be the doctor who assisted his wife in child birth) gives the daughter away and tells the mother she died.
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
http://www.amazon.com/Road-Cormac-Mccarthy/dp/0307265439/sr=1-1/qid=1159482148/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-4128499-8591232?ie=UTF8&s=books
This books sounds dark and depressing. But it is almost October, Halloween's month, so I think it also sounds appropriate. And really interesting. It's about an un named man and his son who survive in a post-apocalyptic world where people turn to cannibals. Ooer.
The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory
http://www.amazon.com/Other-Boleyn-Girl-Philippa-Gregory/dp/0743227441/sr=1-1/qid=1159482284/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-4128499-8591232?ie=UTF8&s=books
About the two Boleyn sister's who compete for Henry VIII's affection. This novel is also being made into a film starring Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman:

About a girl and her siblings who are raised by two essentric parents. And I guess are homeless for a while.
Please let me know what your opinion is in my comments. I'm torn between all these books.
