Week Two - Nineteen Minutes

This week you should be about half way through the book. I know Nineteen Minutes is a little longer than the other books, but our goal is to read 1/4 of the book every week. If you just have to read on, please do, but don't spoil it for others.

Now that you have "met" the characters are you feeling like one person is to blame for the shootings? Who could have changed the path Peter was on? Is the relationship between Alex and Josie healthy?
You may address any of these questions or post questions/thoughts that you have.

Happy Reading!

The Blind Side by Michael Lewis

Today is January 8, 2010. Welcome to the blog for our first faculty online book club! The goal is to read 1/4 of the book each week and comment. If you just have to keep reading, please don't give too much away in your comments. You will experience quite a range of emotions with this title.
I look forward to reading and sharing thoughts with everyone. Happy Reading!! Melinda

Week Two Push by Sapphire -- It is Golden Globes Week!

Sorry for the delay in this week's post, but something like grades and MLK holiday sort of got in the way. A little different approach this week -- I love it when I can connect with the author of a memorable book. Sometimes it is in person, but lately I have had "virtual" experiences. Since the Golden Globes were over the weekend, and the Academy Awards are coming up, I found a Katie Couric interview with Sapphire. It is long, but so interesting!
What did you think about the author? Has "meeting" her changed your perspective on the book? What about Katie Couric's questions? Is a movie ever better than a book?
Please email me if you have any questions. Patty
