Book club

I went to my second book club meeting last night. Apparently I was the only one who was disappointed in the book. We read Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi. I was really looking forward to it because it looked like exactly the kind of book I like. I had even picked it up in a bookstore here in Basel last fall before knowing we'd be reading it for book club. But for some reason I seem to be the only person who had trouble getting through it. Even the reviews on Amazon.com are very favorable. Regardless of my disappointment, I suggest it for others to read. All the women in our book club really enjoyed it. Next we'll be reading The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini which looks really good.
