Slackerville

I have to apologize for my recent absence in postings on this blog. The holidays and birthday events greatly distracted me from other duties.
We had a great discussion over Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol earlier this month. I must say, I have a greater appreciation for the short story after the discussion.
Now on to The Giver by Lois Lowry and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Interestingly enough, both of these authors are living and have sites to reference their information from, so I thought I'd share those with you (click on their names above). By reading these, I hope you can become better acquainted with the author and their writing style and influences.
We just gave one of our nephew a copy of The Giver, if that gives you a clue as to how much I have loved this book. Fahrenheit 451 was a one night read for me, so, again, I enjoyed it a lot.

Discussion

If you haven't viewed the discussion board on FB for GWBC, please do. Just because we have finished reading a specific title and have "moved on" doesn't mean we have to stop talking about it. Feel free to discuss using either FB or the blog. If I see something in the comments, I will transfer it to a blog post so everyone will have a chance to discuss and think about what other members are thinking about.
Enjoy this holiday season! Our next meeting will be on the 15th, just a little over a week away. Don't forget to read A Christmas Carol!!
I'm still searching out titles for February and March, but I think I have some good options. Stay tuned!
