Hello Babble Book Club!
It is time again to choose our next selection, and I have so greedily narrowed it down to an author already, but am unsure of the book! I would like to again try to have the author come on board for a discussion and if this were possible, allow the author some weight in choosing the title.
The author selection is Farzana Doctor and her two books are:
Stealing Nasreen (2007) and Six Metres of Pavement (2011)
I think both would be interesting and diverse reads and provide great conversation -- what does everyone think? I am leaning towards Stealing Nasreen; however, it is the older of the two.
Also, we will aim for a faster completion date, as many of you are quick, quick readers, but i warn you now: it will take some time to communication with the author and potentially establish a discussion date that would work for her.
On a lighter note, thanks to all who participated in the discussion with Lynn Coady! I know Lynn was overwhelmed and really pleased by all the questions and responses. Also thanks to those who tuned in and read all the discussion, it has been a wonderful response!
Hopefully we can invite another author on as the discussion with Lynn was so wonderful!
Also, please feel free to leave any feedback on the Babble Book Club (BBC) on this thread as well. How is the strucutre working? What could be better? Any constructive feedback for us?
Thanks again to you all, this has been a very exciting experiment!
