Les Mis

We had the library book group for the first half of Les Miserables. The regular discussion leader was not there, someone else from the library was filling in for her. I think a lot of people didn't enjoy the discussion as much. The moderator and one other lady were reading the unabridged version of the book. Everyone else was reading an abridged version. Most of the discussion was between these two ladies about the politics in France at the time the book was set. None of that was in the abridged book. I hope the regular moderator is back for the second half of the book.

I also started to read "The Princess Bride" by William Goldman. It is really good. Stephen has started to read "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll. That's the next book for the teen group.
