This month's book club I discuss “The Glass Castle” by Jeannette Walls. Hear my thoughts on the writing style, content, and answer the following book club questions:
Though The Glass Castle is brimming with unforgettable stories, which scenes were the most memorable for you? Which were the most shocking, the most inspiring, the funniest?

Why is it important that, just before leaving for New York, Jeannette tells her father that she doesn't believe he'll ever build it? Though it portrays an incredibly hardscrabble life, The Glass Castle is never sad or depressing. Discuss the tone of the book, and how do you think that Walls achieved that effect?Plus find out next month's book! Is it “Britt-Marie Was Here”, “The Far Field”, or “Harry’s Trees”.

This month's book club I discuss “A Gentleman in Moscow” by Amor Towles. Hear my thoughts on the writing style, content, and answer the following book club questions:
The Count’s life under house arrest is greatly influenced by his relationship with four women: Nina, Marina, Anna, and Sofia. What is the nature of the Count’s relationship with each of these women? How do those relationships differ from his relationship with the members of the Triumvirate—Andrey and Emile? The majority of A Gentleman in Moscow is told in the third person from the Count’s point of view. There is, however, an overarching narrator with a perspective different from the Count’s. Initially, this narrator appears in footnotes, then in the “Addendums,” then in the historical introductions of “1930,” “1938,” and “1946.” How would you characterize this narrator? How does he differ from the Count in terms of his point of view and tone of voice? What is his role in the narrative? This is a novel with a somewhat fantastical premise set half a century ago in a country very different from our own. Nonetheless, do you think the book is relevant today? If so, in what way?Plus find out next month's book! Is it Wild, The Glass Castle, or The Girl Who Smiles Beads.
