The Book Thief, Markus Zusak

I hope you all agree that this book is a great start to the New Year of FHBC!! If not, feel free to tell us all about it next Tuesday evening!!

Here are the questions! Don't be surprised if Durren sends out another letter with quotes, etc. I would've, but didn't have enough time!

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

2014 Book Club List

Howdy,

Well, here it is, a good bit later than usual, but oh well! As no one came forward to claim the August slot, I took the opportunity to add another non-fiction title (a Pulitzer Prize finalist!) for which I'm happy to act as monitor.

Remember, the schedule is not quite written in stone! We only ask that changes be made as early as possible to allow our readers to make the adjustment in their own personal purchasing (and reading) schedules. Thanks everyone. Looks like an excellent year of reading ahead.
