The Age of Miracles: A Novel by Karen Thompson Walker
 
Book Club Recommended
Interesting, Dark, Insightful
Well worth the time--entralling

I loved this book. From the moment I read a sample on my Kindle, I knew I wanted to read it. A sense of foreboding, but one that compelled me forward. It's her 1st novel, and I was amazed. The protagonist is a young girl, just reaching her teen years, but bright, insightful, quick, funny-- definitely something people of all ages can relate to. The world's is slowing down as it spins on it's axis. What are the implications-- day by day, & into the future? Does the change bring out the best in people, or not? Great existential questions for a book club-- wish I was still in mine! Highly recommend.

State of Wonder: A Novel by Ann Patchett
 
Book Club Recommended
Adventurous, Interesting, Dramatic
Despite not that sympathetic protagonist, still loved it

What a book! Most of my friends preferred Bel Canto, but I adored this dark book, a 21 st century version of Heart of Darkness, with women as main characters. Was hooked from pg. 1, but I'll never visit the Amazon after reading this entrallingI book that takes place in the jungles of. Lots of issues to discuss in a book group-- provocative, morally ambiguous (the characters), fascinating.
