Book club is back in action! I apologize for my lack of book club reporting; we took a break for the holidays and I have just been slacking. Our book for January was Loving Frank by Nancy Horan. To sum it up the book is a fictional rendering of the real-life affair between architect Frank Lloyd Wright and his mistress Mamah Borthwick Cheney.This was a great group discussion book because it touches on issues such as morality, family values, feminism, art and love. I personally despised FLW and Mamah and had a difficult time connecting with their actions and motives to leave their children and families. I was so distracted by my disgust for the couple that I couldn't even get through the book! I did an awful thing and skipped to the end to prep for our book club meeting (first time I have ever skipped to the end!). The ending was so unexpected that it convinced me to go back and finish the book. If you have read the book I would love to hear what you thought! Did Mamah's name drive you as crazy as it drove me!?
Up for February: The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larrson. I never gave my review of The Help but it was AMAZING! A must read!
