Have you read any of these? Join us—the third Tuesday evening
of each month . . .
Sounds like an interesting bunch. I’ve only read two – the Roth, whose writing I hugely admire though sometimes I don’t like the stories much. And the Harold Fry book – I’m afraid I really disliked that one, but most people seemed to love it. I’ll be interested to hear what you think of them all.
I’ve read The Human Stain, too and will keep my eyes open with Harold Fry!
Thanks for your input–appreciate it!
