Great House by Nicole Krauss - Reading Guide

Looking forward to seeing the Bluestockings on May 19th at around 6:30. Our menu will be a selection of summer salads. Hopefully by then I'll be fully recovered from the wedding and my upcoming tour of Augusta and Birmingham. :)

Here's one reading quide I found; there may be more:

Room

Thanks to Kay, we had a fabulous April meeting. Good food and lively discussion of Room (not to mention brandy slushes) were enjoyed by the Bluestockings. Oh, and we were gifted a spring party favor. Yes, my plant could use watering (and thank you for it, Jean), but at least it's not artificial (Angie, I'm talking to you!).

HERE are the discussion questions for January's book (it's been published in 35 languages!). I'm betting that this will be one of our best discussions ever.

A Bluestocking Shower

Kate and Jay are going to have the most beautifully decorated home next Christmas, thanks to the Bluestockings! How do you express gratitude to people who shower your daughter with this much love? Seriously? Impossible.

Her Fearful Symmetry: The Meeting

Thanks to Ann for hosting another evening of wonderful food and entertaining discussion for the Bluestockings. If anyone wants to know the meaning of the letter floating above the table or the significance of the white cat, Her Fearful Symmetry is a must read!
